1. If practical deploy one or more suitable disk wiping procedure as
suggested elsewhere in this thread.

2. Remove hard disk(s) (wiped or not). [Store disk(s) in safe if you
are really concerned.] Retain until such time you can attack disk(s)
with a hammer. [Retain disk fragments indefinitely in safe if you are
really really concerned.]

3. Dispose of rest of computer in an environmentally responsible way.
