I found a very cool page about a experiment that was done on testing G-forces in highspeed cd drives!... when the cd rom drive is spinning at 64x it goes up to 24000 rpm! Can the disc take it? Nope...

http://www.paintbug.com/cdexplode/

So will cd-drives now come with protective goggles? [img]smile.gif[/img]

So at 52x my cd-rw is already approaching critical mass? eww...that's a little scary now.

They go that fast by charging the tiniest little cattle prods you ever did see behind a group of well motivated Hamsters.
