PURE NERD PORN

Well I couldnt make up my mind between Nerd Porn and The Art of Magic.
Anyways this was stripping down an Archos Gmini. Always fun to take these things apart and see how the technology is changing. Its also amazing how we essentially live in the Arthur C Clarke world of any sufficiently highly advanced will appear as magic.
Even the lowest technology bits (things like the sticky tape) are ferociously complex in their constitution (they are a long way from tape with icky stuff on it!). Never stripped one of these tiny hard drives before:- tiny, tiny drive, maybe only a few mm thick stunning.
I mean really the only reason we dont call this stuff magic is because we live with it every day and know that someone, somewhere must understand it!
