[Hidden-tech] Wipe a MacBook hard drive?

[Chris Hart]

Does it truly "fade" to black slowly?

If it does that's probably something in software that can be fixed easily (at least easy compared to a hardware fix).

I'm in Shelburne Falls and would like to bring it somewhere nearby, or in the Amherst area.
