Thanks. I think I'll take a crack at one of them and see what it's
like. Further bulletins as events warrant. (FBAEW?.....Hmmm...what's
the process by which a new acronym is added to the compendium of usenet

The magnets in the newer hard drives are pretty unrewarding. They are
strong but very small. Now back in the 3380 days you got MAGNETS (the
size of pavers)


Get bigger, more powerful, donut shaped magnets out of dead microwaves. Took
one apart and found 2 large magnets.
