is your bracelet magnetic enough to pick up metal objects? do paper clips fly off the desk and attach themselves to your arm? if not, then you should be safe.

i've just done a bit of fishing around on the internet. while magnets and computers still do not work and play well together, the magnet has to be fairly powerful to do any damage. old fashioned CRT monitors might also be damaged by a magnet.

that said, i would not put a magnet on or near a computerized sewing machine, or attach it directly to anything "computerized". why take chances?
