	CBM now sells these little stereo speakers to attach to an
Amiga's stereo audio out jacks.  (Cost is about $30-40).

	I have a question.  Speakers generate magnetic fields.  These
speakers are going to be near disks, since they are near computers.
Magnetic fields can erase disks.

	Could someone (from CBM?) state SPECIFICALLY how far away from these
speakers I must keep my disks to be safe?  Or is there no danger?  Are the
speakers "shielded" in any way to prevent this magnetic field from getting
out?
	I know I never worried about this with a speaker built into my
monitor; is this a different case?
