Keep Magnets Away from Computers


The “Welcome to MCC” buttons and other informational buttons have been a great
success in helping students navigate the campus during this hectic first week
of classes.  Several of these pins have magnet attachments that are keeping our
clothes from being damaged. It’s important to remember that magnets may affect
hard drives and computer disks and should not be placed near them.  Feel free
to wear the button while working on your computer but please be careful where
you put the button when you remove it.  Placing it on your hard drive or in a
spot near where your computer disks are stored can cause long-term damage.
