>>>We are designing a device that includes some relatively strong magnets. The device is about the size of a cigaret pack and is connected to a laptop using USB. I am afraid that at the end of the day when I throw the device in my computer bag along with my laptop and my wallet that the magnet will de-magnetise my debit cards and erase my harddrive (or even flip a couple of bits).

Do you have two or more magnets close to each other? If so, what design precautions have been taken to eliminate coupling effects between magnets? Are they attractive or repulsive magnets (In respect to each other)? I wonder if a mu shield would work? This takes me back to my engineering days. :)
Oh yes, one more thing - are these electro magnets or permanent magnets?
