That's something I have no desire to even try. I'm fine just ripping the guts out of a drive that stands no chance of ressurection to begin with, or is just too small/obselete to matter. I knew the part about floating insanely close to the disk surface, but I had never heard the analogy before. Thanks for sharing.
