I found an old hard drive in the garage and decided to pop it
open for the magnets. I know they are strong and you to handle
them with care but I still ended up pinching my middle finger
between two of them. Ouch!

I'm just glad I was not handling really big ones, I could have hurt
my finger pretty badly instead of getting a small blister.

They sure are fun aren't they? Be careful with them and don't let them fly together, it happened to me once and they shattered on impact. I have a Wondermagnet #5 which is, well, somewhat larger than a hard drive magnet. Lots of fun, until it gets stuck on a flat metal surface. Then it's almost impossible to remove.

lol, took a couple magnets out of an old dead WD 3 gig drive and stuck my professor's chair to his desk with them. He had to yank the chair to get it to come loose. ;) He never found out who did it, but it was all I could do to keep from laughing. :mrgreen:
