I just bought a MacBook Pro laptop :D and I'm planning to use it with my POD XT live for recording some stuff in Garageband... my question is:

As far as I know, computers must be away from amps (you know... a electromagnetic storage device like the hard drive sitting near from a huge speaker magnet is NOT a good thing...)

Am I right?... cause the other day browsing thru a guitar world magazine or something like that saw an add (I think of Digitech, but I'm not sure), and the photo illustrating the USB conectivity of the pedalboard shows this guy sitting with his laptop ON THE TOP OF HIS AMP... :eek:

I'm a bit of a computer geek, but maybe I'm missing something bout amps that I don't know... :confused:

Please help.
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kinda neat.
