Instructions for "brain wiping" your Newton can be found at
http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/BrainWipe

Note this does NOT apply to your PC data cards; in fact you should
remove all PC cards before performing this procedure; otherwise the
cards themselves could be rendered unusuable.

I don't know offhand how to erase PC cards securely. The Newton has
a built-in function for erasing the cards IIRC, but I don't think this is
a secure delete -- i.e. a determined user might be able to get at your
"erased" data, at least theoretically. I haven't heard of it being done,
though.
