hi guys,
I've been told by a guy at the local apple store that carrying my cellphone too close to my macbook could damage the computer (I think he specified the hard drive). When I asked 'how close' he said the outer pocket in my bag was probably not quite safe enough, so I've been carrying the phone in my own pocket or hand ever since, with the MB in my bag.
But frankly I'm kind of sick of this, especially since I have no idea whether it's true or why it's so if it's correct (and I don't really have pockets--it's summer and all my clothes have hardly any pockets on them, what there is is for my music player). So I wanted to ask you:
a) is this true, partially true, or just a crock?
b) if true, why does it happen?
Thanks!
