[olug] Drive wipe tool

[Aric Aasgaard]

I have better things to do than actually do this but I envision like an old
autocad, some newage music.  Then after the pitch you zoom into the fine
print of the video .... zoom until it pixilates then zoom into a pixel then
zoom more and like maybe a Saturn likes thing passes and a galaxy passes and
then in a starwars font intro scroll it says something like *all proceeds
will be used to pay my electric bill.

You mean free coasters.....

Or maybe..... you could take them apart and assemble a "free energy" machine
with the magnets and the discs and market them to hippies via a doctored up
youtube to pay for bandwidth and rack space so in theory it would be a free
energy machine....
