I recently noticed that when I parked my car directly in front of my window where my computer lives that the radio reception became full of static. It was only when I lined up the car directly with my computer, about 15 feet away.I had been letting my computer run without resetting it to see how long it would go without crashing (I love Micro$oft!) and when I reset it that day the effect on the car radio stopped.
So, maybe this part is not so far-fetched...."but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play"
