Oh man, you can't be serious that you would even believe this?!?!? Everything they do contradicts what should be done to a disc. They do the opposite...This would fuck up your drive, putting a disc on a magnet....DUH! That's gonna wipe the disc clean... |

Anyway, you'll only need to do this only if you play too much Quake - if you suck, then of course you need defragging from time to time.

Tears came out with this one:

When the discs have finally come lööse, keep them in order and don't mixem up
If you have Windows on your Data machine, You'll find the OS on the top disc, you'll recognize it easily, it's much heavier then the rest of the discs. If you use Linux, then you'll of course don't need to do this operation at all...

LMAO! 
It's a very creative guide!  |

I especially like the "datachisel" concept.
