X Radiation
Hi all. I'm going to the airport tomorrow and was wondering if a Macintosh Classic would be affected by the baggage check X-Ray machines. any advice greatly appreciated! 
It shouldn't, but apparently cosmic rays can flip bits in RAM. A highly energetic particle in the wrong place at the wrong time and you could wake up one morning and find that the answer is 43.
no not 43!
the mac will be fine, and cosmic rays only effect already running computers

Even magnetic media will survive X-Rays.
