	An even simpler way, if you don't feel funny doing it, is to go
to a library that has one of those electronic book detection systems
at the door.  Go to the main desk and convince them to wiggle
your disk down inside the place where they zap the books after
you check them out.  Voila!  Instant de-guassing!
	This may not work at I all libraries, I suppose, but it was
very successful at Johns Hopkins's MSE.
