Do you know if these anti magnetism rings are toxic?

I got them out of the mac I was cleaning.

Might be a tad tough to pass if he did. Might not be toxic but sure will pull all of the magnetic metals out of his system.

remove them as ferrite cores can cause stains after that period of time

If on the other hand your desktop is laminate over particle board then its probably too late as ferrite cores have be known in 37.678% of the time to cause delamination of the laminate from the particle board substrate.

In 63.875% of the time however these cores have cause absolutely no problems 17 times out of 20 based of course on the phase of the moon

Sorry but just ignore the rants they are just plain powdered metal core that have no significance what so ever <GRIN>
My desk is made of glass.

So they're just iron ferrite eh?

For some reason unknown to me, my macintosh preforms better now ever since I took the large ring shaped one off the IDE cables. No more memory problems and the CD audio sounds more crisp.
Those magnets were in your Mac? Odd indeed...magnets and screens do not play nicely, nor would your HDD or Memory...

Interested to know how they got there...

theyre antimagnets, they keep the auto degauss from damaging the hard drive. :D
