Default Re: Can you photocopy cards with magnetic strips

Better yet scan the cards or whatever you have into your computer and you can have a permanent copy. Yes permanent because I have mine uploaded to a site and also sent them to myself via Yahoo email and they are stored there forever (hopefully).

Mythbusters tested that magnetic strip to see how much you would need to demagnetize the strip or delete the data and it is ridiculous the magnetic field needed to do it.

In the old days we would copy the card by using paper and a pencil to do a tracing like you did at the cemetary in art class. That's where I learned how at least.
