User loses half of a CD-ROM in his boss's PC

Little Mouse

what it would take to keep two halves of a disk -intact- connected when spun up to 52x. speeds

A typical CD is only just able to hold itself together at those speeds IIRC. That's one of the reasons spin-speeds never exceeded that threshold. Some interesting clips did the rounds of people trying to spin them faster - They rarely ended well.
