But keep in mind that the separation between the magnetic head (which is 
stationary) and the disc surface (which is spinning at about 40 MPH) is 
less than 20 Angstroms.  Basically, this separation is filled with two 
or at most three layers of lubricating molecules.  These lubricating 
molecules, which are mobile, can disappear due to heat dissipation, 
pressure gradients, or whatever reason(s).
