Just to add my 2 cents worth, when I used to work in the ol' repair shop, getting my hardware internship done with, we used magnetic screwdrivers. At first, I said to the manager, "What, are you guys INSANE? Magnetic screwdrivers in a COMPUTER shop?" He just laughed at me, and then laid his screwdriver on a 5.25' floppy. Then he invited me to try the disk. No harm done. I guess I learned my lesson. It takes a lot stronger magnetic field than you'd think to corrupt a floppy. -- Chris Jansen "I am that I am." - Jesus Christ "I yam what I yam." - Popeye
