Like if I sell a Macbook to someone (or to the Apple Store), is there a way that I can erase any of my info off of it? kinda like a Factory Restore or anything or do I need to do it all manually? If so, what would I need to erase? I don't have many files on it or personal info, i just don't want to go into the Apple Store and have them see that I looked at trailers on Evil Angel's site, etc. :D
I could really use the money and the laptop is a luxury I can't afford. I've got another computer so I don't even know why I bought it in the first place. It's cool and all, but money is cooler right now. Thanks.

Simple.
Before you sell your mac or pc, or whatever, just re-install Tiger OS.10 or Vista Ultimate by booting from CD rom.
This will eraze everything on your hard-drive and install a fresh operating system on your mac or pc, ready for your buyer. :)
