Hello all.

Yes, this is definitely true, but these days I didn't have an idea what a TC
was and how those magnets
could be used for that. But I took all the disks apart to observe the demage
and took the magnets from them
These are really very strong ones but mostly pretty odd-shaped.
The other thing is, in a computer shop you don't make friends by running
around with magnets *hehe*
I still have some of them sitting on my desk, maybe when I find time.....
but probably not.

But you are of course right, I too made the error of destryoing valuable
ressources...
mea cupla, mea maxima culpa ;-)

Best regards

Christoph
