if the information is highly sensitive(gov't/corporate secrets), the 
only answer is to physically destroy the drive, if its just personal, 
you would be fine to just zero out the data on the drive using apple's 
disk utility (I think you still can, I know you could in os 9), this 
should render the data unretreivable without dissembling the drive and 
retrieving the data manually, bit by bit, using a microscope and a lot 
of patience.
