Serves Her Right

She should've used a cottage industry computer consultant who doesn't even own a floor model. Yeah, it would've cost her 8% more, but at least some stranger doesn't know her credit card numbers and the names of all the high school boyfriends she still thinks about:

Last June Susan went to the Circuit City store in Boulder to buy a new computer. She asked to have the files from her old computer saved to a disk.

"Let's just say I had many years of private writings, papers, personal information, pictures," Susan said.

Circuit City employees copied those private writings and papers onto a floor model computer then onto a disk. But they never removed Susan's personal files from that floor model computer. A few days later, that computer was sold.

"That evening I got a call from a strange man that I do not know who told me he purchased a desktop floor model computer which contained all of my personal information," Susan said.
