Rather the horror.
You stop poking around when you run into other people's junk.
Yep, literally and figuratively. I just remembered purchasing a PC from a flea market donkeys years ago and regretting looking through the hard drive after encountering images of what was the presumably the former owner - and his partner posing for the camera as they performed XXX acts. I'm hardly a prude - it's just that I could've really done without viewing their quality of material.
My second eBay purchase was a 17" DLSD-HD. I've never wiped a drive so fast as that one. A week or two later the seller asked if I had perhaps retained a copy of the drive.…
NO.
This is why I now live by the warning of Dr. Zaius when it comes to files on second-hand computers.
