- Regarding the following quotes:
-
- : Nope. The speaker will (slowly) erase your disks. Move either the
- : disks or the speaker about 4 feet and you should be fine.
-
- and:
-
- : Being a physicist working in magnetism for a few years
- : now, i can say with confidence that the odds that you
- : erase even 1 byte on 1 disk is extraordinarily small.
-
- Being the lazy git I am, theres a pile of 5.25" disks on top of one of my
- speakers (along with some 3.5" disks and a few video tapes too) and so far
- they have been there about 2/2.5 years without incident. (I've just given
- them all a test BTW!) I don't claim to be an expert on this, but I'd say
- its safe enough!
