[Lots of Arnie's posturing snipped]
Not at all, since I actually understand the subject matter.
Of course you do Arnie, of course you do. You have spectacular insight.
We got a magnificent view at your unfallible insights when you said recently:

Indeed. However if a conductive platter is spinning in
a magnetic field, there will be locally induced currents.
They in turn can erase a disk within some time.
There was a number of incidents of this type
with notebook HDDs in german trains some years ago.
The trains were this happened had newly introduced
fold-down tables with strong magnets at the corners.
Notebook HDDs have less distance between their case surface
and the platters. And it might have taken up to an hour or more
with a disk spinning most of the time for the damage to happen.

A direct stray magnetic field, not strong enough to erase bits by
itself, will induce a huge current in the platter so that its magnetic
field will erase the bits. Yup, you know your physics alright, Arnie.
Have we forgotten that Notebook HDs have glass substrate platters?
Thank you so very much for your precious insights Arnie.
Without them I would never have guessed that glass is such a wonderful
conductive material.
By the way, you had no problem to keep yourself from responding then.
Even someone so full of it as you probably realized that no amount of
posturing would have helped you out of that predicament there, isn't it,
Arnie.
Its just your posturing that sometimes sets me off. Anyways I think
you display of lqack of manners/bad upbringing and general lack
of true insight disqualifies you for further discourse.
I will answer to you in this thread again.
I'll bet you will. And ofcourse you already did after you read your own
post back *after* you send it. Which is quite amazing, knowing that you
never read your own posts, whether that's before or after sending.
Gosh, I haven't upset you, have I, Arnie?
