Thank you for the commercial. I have in fact bought $22K (CDN$) of product
from Radio Shack in the last year for my employer, and was totally
satisfied with the equipment. Your pedantic surliness does not influence
me in any way. I, hope by the way, you aren't in sales or you may have a
hungry future, should your sales skills match be influenced by the above
attitude.

I did nothing that you imply, shameful or otherwise. I used (not bought or
specified) a commericial grade bulk eraser. The kind that makes the hair
on the back of your hand stand on end. It was/is the right tool for the
right job. 

The mention of the Radio Shack product was rather incidental, and simply
indicated a higher quality device, with no stated or implied slams on the
quality of the Radio Shack product(s). Does saying I prefer a Cadillac not
a Chevy mean I think Chevys are crap? It does imply I think Caddies are
better, and nothing more (for the record I don't drive either, its an
analogy).

My point in the post was to say that even with the best quality products,
it isn't a casual thing to thoroughly wipe a tape clean.  My point was not
to slam Radio Shack, nor do I think anyone but you would have taken it
that way.

If you want to pick fights, try rec.boxing or something. If you care to
continue the thread, try staying with the "here is what I know about
magnets and magnetic media" thread, and not jumping in with personal
attacks. It does cause the thread to wander somewhat.
