All kidding aside, there's a web site from which you can download a
little DOS utility to invoke security erase on a drive.  The README
claims that security erase is better than smashing the drive to bits,
though (I suspect) not better then pulling out the platters and
blowtorching them till the oxide falls off.

URL for the site is:
