slightly OT: link for you rare earth magnet fans

Greetings,
Tired of those wussy rare earth magnets from LV? I judged a high school
science fair this evening. The winner's project was a levitating magnet.
Pretty cool. I asked the kid where she got the huge 1.2 cm cube magnets.
Here's the link:
https://secure.avdns7.com/~scitoys/cgi-bin/shop.exe?page=magnet_desc.html
goes straight to the magnets, or http://www.scitoys.com for the homepage.

I haven't bothered to check how the smaller magnets compare in price to
other sources, such as LV.

Great source for any teachers out there. I've used a number of their demos,
which are generally better than the ones in the book accompanying the texts.

when I was looking:
