Re: Model 515 - Anyone have any use for it?

I am, at the very least, going to keep the magnets from the hard drives. I
bet they're whoppers compared to the PC ones.

I remember ripping apart an older box with huge 250mb (yes mb) drives. 4
platters in each, and I think 6 or 8 magnets each. That is what started my
magnet collection.

Brad, I don't know if you saw recently on LinkedIn, someone having an old
box like yours, I remember he took the box and turned it into a vase
table. And many peoples LOL and I replied "Can't live without seeing them,
huh?". Better save the disks' magnets, they are really good!

I seem to recall someone from IBM indicating many years ago that 255

lifetimes.
255*70/365 = 48 years
