Heh, my hackerlust knows no bounds....
i got my first order from NGK, their last blue Dodo SE, and it came with a rather nice little band-aid holder box, amusing little idea, that....
there was one problem with it, the magnet on the back was too wussy to hold on my metal desk drawer, i soon fixed that, after all, i'm a Macintosh repair tech with a pile of neomydium latch magnets i removed from dead iBook latch release buttons, and a bottle of SuperGlue....
i took my CCC balisong and used it to scrape off the original magnet (which is still intact and can be used for other projects), then put a couple drops of superglue on either end of the holder, and dropped on the neomydium magnets, let the glue dry, then stuck it to my desk drawer....
it snapped on with a satisfying "click" and refused all but my most extreme efforts to remove it, i now have to slide the holder off the side of the drawer to remove it, or pull really hard to release it, nothing short of an earthquake will dislodge the holder now, the old magnet would release if you looked at it funny...
not bad for a 30 second hack job....
