Everybody needs to find an old, dead hard drive...go get one, I'm sure there's one laying about somewhere...
Now disassemble it. (for those of you who are junkyard impaired, here's a picture: <http://www.guaranteedrecyclingxperts.com/imagebank/parts/hdd/platters.jpg>) That metal bit with the number 940430 on it is an assembly with two very, VERY powerful magnets in it. If you disassemble those you will find that each one will lift many many pounds. One from an average 3 1/2" desktop HDD stuck to the side of my desk will stick tightly enough to allow me to pull my 230 pound self on a wheeled chair to my desk rather than disattach from the steel desk. Two from a laptop HDD serve is powerful recipe holders on my fridge, holding about 10 sheets of paper stacked up. These are within a few inches of the data on your hard drive as it's working, all the time.
