I saw this large magnet test on Youtube ... had no idea it was a ThinkPad T61 till watching the video. I guess he had already done this with a desk top, which I have not seen. So I post it here since it's a TP ... which he says is falling apart.

ThinkPad Challenged with Large Magnet
Re: ThinkPad Challenged with Large Magnet
Well, that was pretty fun to watch. Thanks for sharing. I wonder how the newest ThinkPads would perform.

Re: ThinkPad Challenged with Large Magnet
I could do the same thing with my FDD / tape bulk eraser.
I'm surprised that only the HDD was trashed.

Re: ThinkPad Challenged with Large Magnet
I don't know what ticked me off more - a video of deliberate destruction (which at least attempts to be educational) or the idiotic Vista comments from the brain-dead users. Nope, I guess it was the morons who upvoted those comments.
