Busting the Biggest PC Myths

Just found a really interesting article from PC World entitled "Busting the Biggest PC Myths" which lets you discover which of these "urban legends" are actually fact or fallacy.
Here's an excerpt from the "Magnet Zaps Your Data" myth:
The only magnets powerful enough to scrub data from a drive platter are laboratory degaussers or those used by government agencies to wipe bits off media. "In the real world, people are not losing data from magnets," says Bill Rudock, a tech-support engineer with hard-drive maker Seagate. "In every disk," notes Rudock, "there's one heck of a magnet that swings the head."
