" - When Arthur Andersen auditors deleted e-mails and shredded reams of 
documents related to the Enron scandal last fall, it's likely they 
thought they were covering their tracks under a blanket of confetti.
But they may have been wrong.
Computer experts say that though the paper trail may now be destroyed, 
it might still be possible to recover much of the information from the 
computers that produced the original documents."

This jibes with comments made by a friend and former employee who says 
that Enron had excellent backup and data retention policies -- which may 
now serve to hang the company's executives.
