Sounds like this is a win/win program!

Yes, good program.

This is great! I would recommend removing any hard drives before handing off a computer to any company, and have the hard drive destroyed so that personal information cannot be retrieved.

This is a very good thing to do for the environment.

I called this place

I hate when u just get voice mail and no help
