I just got this lame response from Dabs.ie:
"I can confirm we do adhere to the data protection act therefore any data will be removed from the drive.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

This says to me "Hey, we’re proud that we destroy your data and screw you very much!". Man! These folks never learn. The campaign has now begun 🙂
