I took apart an old 120MB disk drive to get the magnet.


I rather like the platters and want to keep them in my house. Maybe to
use as coffee mug mats or something like that.


But I don't want to rest my sandwiches on a platter while having a
coffee and then find that the platters have some toxic coating or can be
a hazard!


Can anyone tell me.


The platters are very thin & brittle glass.


Some are, plenty arent.

When they shatter the shards are deadly sharp!


Pig ignorant drivel.
