RE: Finn Takes Gold at Mobe Throwing Contest

Ahhh, whole hard drives :-)  I was thinking just the platters, and 5.25"
platters at that.... For some reason when someone mentions harddrive, I
picture a full hight 5.25" drive unit :-)

  yup, I'd agree that HD's have the aerodynamics of a brick.... For obvious
reasons heheh :-)

It's not so much the flight characteritics, it's transferring as much 
energy as possible in the short time that you're hurling. A hard disk 
flies about as well as a brick, being pretty much the same shape.
