[Discuss] [OT] [Mac related] Wiping an old Mac

[Chris O'Connell]

Jerry,

Any Apple iOS CD that can be booted from has the Disk Utility on it.  This
utility allows for a secure wipe, simple erase or format.  To access the
utility boot from the CD and select Disk Utility from the Tools (or
Utilities) drop down menu on the top of the screen.
