Macbook magnet
Having magnetized a watch with a pacemaker magnet once, I am now a little paranoid. Any of you guys with a Mac laptop that has the Magnetic adapter have any concerns about that? I wonder how close I can actually get since it's on the left, as is my watch.

I have had no problems with any of my macbooks / macbook pros since they came out in 2006, all of my watches have been fine.

You may notice your pacemaker going in to an asynchronous pacing mode. It should revert to normal function after you remove your watch from your chest. Call 1-800-MEDTRONIC for questions.

The last time you did this, we had to defibrillate you. Watches, MACbooks, pacemaker magnets and running with scissors. You need to buy the next GV that comes in after mine.
