[TriLUG] destroying disk drives

[Ryan Wheaton]

Jon and I used to do this in our "down time" at work...  Just a small 
pair of pliers and a small set of clips...Just go at it and rip that 
thing apart.  Might takes more time than you'd want, but the magnets are 
fun to play with.  But if you're not careful might *damage* your 
finger(s)...
