Hi Don,

what was the URL for the site? Also, did it mention how much these
magnets were selling for?

thanks!

p.s. regarding credit cards.... while I was working out at the nuclear
plant, I took apart some old hard drives, and got a new neodymium
magnets out.. one day a couple of them were stuck together sitting on
a shelf, and I walked by a bit too close.. they slis across the shelf
and grabbed onto my keys and a bit of change in my pocket.. completely
erased my bank card, as well as a couple other cards with magnetic
strips (not credit cards.. I don't have any of those..)

so be careful with strong magnets.. also, keep your fingers away from
them! I've been pinched a few times, and it's not too fun. ;)
