Why we should always format new hard drives
As if we haven't had enough woes over merchandise coming out of China, it appears that some of Seagate's Maxtor hard drives have been getting to customers with a little unwanted added value. It's frustrating that those who would exploit technology for their own gain always seem to move so much faster than the average user of that technology can stay informed. Many of us have to spend a lot of time just learning the basics of how to use new technology. If I have to take time to become an expert on every kind of sabotage imaginable, I might as well go back to pen and paper. In spite of all the modern advances in communications, both those items still maintain a comfortable spot in society.
