David Lawrence: How much RAM do you have on that machine?

Mary: It*s a new Inspiron.

David Lawrence: No how much RAM do you have on it, do you know?

Mary: No, I don*t know.

David Lawrence: Okay, it maybe that you need more RAM. It maybe that there is a heat-related issue to it because it*s a laptop. There is any number of things that might be wrong with it but the fact that it*s slow I immediately think Adware, Spyware that kind of thing and McAfee is not going to prevent you from getting Spyware. It will prevent you from being infected with the virus if it*s kept updated but it won*t prevent you from getting Spyware. So there are a number of different things that you can check but unfortunately it could be any number of things. It doesn*t sound like your issue is limited just to the Comcast thing. Steve, you are Online Tonight with David Lawrence, hello.

Steve: Hi David a quick question. Can I use the zeroing function in Mac OS 9 to wipe a PC hard drive? I found that they fit in my G3 and it seems to wipe them. Will that bring it up to DoD standard wipe?

David Lawrence: DoD standard?

Steve: Yeah.

David Lawrence: No.

Steve: Well because DoD recommends you can use that DoD wipe on a Mac drive.

David Lawrence: No. DoD standard means using Norton Utilities for Macintosh and laying down 3 different random stripings of data. I mean if you are talking about DoD-Tempest or DoD straight not zeroing, zeroing does not work. Hold on one second. Hey we are going to do the Podcast next. We will continue. This is interesting question. Back in a moment.
