Toys for Techies

No office cubicle is complete without the obligatory desk toy. This fact is especially true among high-tech companies that have legions of geeks looking for creative ways to relieve stress. So what is the hot tech-toy of 2003? According to ToyMagnets.com, a specialty online toy store, it's a magnetic building toy called Supermag.

Manufactured in Italy by the Plastwood Corporation, Supermag is a simple, yet fascinating toy for kids as well as adults. Made up of nickel-plated spheres and amazingly strong magnetic rods, these two simple components can be combined to create an infinite number of structures. From basic geometric elements such as a pyramid to complex structures like bridges and motorcycles, Supermag can build them all.

According to Mark Carson, the co-founder of ToyMagnets.com, Supermag pulls together all the right ingredients that make an exceptional tech-toy. In it's simplest form, Supermag is the perfect fiddling toy. It's therapeutic just to sit and test the magnetic properties of Supermag. But it's also great fun to challenge your mind by creating new and unique structures.

Supermag can be a tremendous educational toy for kids as well, but according to ToyMagnets.com, it's the tech companies that really stand out. We take great pride in seeing our products shipped to companies like Adobe Systems, Apple Computer, Google, Intel, and Pixar Animation, says Carson.
