really think that having a magnet that close to a computerized machine is a good idea.
Or maybe these days they are better protected. I'm usually behind the times anyway, so please correct me on this.
Ramona is right. Computer chips and magnets don't mix. Magnets will 'reset' the chips/memory in ways you won't like. Had it happen to me years ago at work. I'd do my work and then, to borrow a quilting term, the file would get 'wonky'. Had tech support over several times, then noticed I had a magnetic paperclip holder right next to the floppy drive - an ancient form of a cd/dvd/thumb drive. After I moved the paperclip holder, the problem ended.
