Ipod Lesson ONE: DO NOT put your Ipod near a strong magnetic field

Earlier this week while working in the Lab moving some magnetic for a demo and I succeed in scrambling mine 20 day old Ipod. I've been so careful not to drop, spindle, fold or mutilate it that I carried it in my pocket everywhere, safe in it's carrying case. Of course, when I move that huge super strong magnet I didn't realize how close in was to my pocket. Lucky for me, it was still under store warranty.
