To do the job especially quick and dirty, purchase a fairly strong
magnet at some hardware or toy store, and then you can zap disks
at your liesure. All fifteen at once most likely.
Of course, I wouldn't have my $300 dollar word processing program
anywhere nearby if I were you. Not even in the same building, but
that's just paranoid me.
In fact, I recall some company marketed an electromagnet for just
this purpose. Unfortunately I couldn't tell you the name or where
to get it, but perhaps a local computer store might have such
information.
