I was skating to my workout one day and spotted a microwave on the curb. It was still their on the way home, and having read a post saying microwaves have big cool magnets, I figured that I could pillage it for the magnet. I assumed it didn't work. Well, it's actually a pretty nice MWO, similar to the one in my kitchen (same glass turntable), and it's working, but it doesn't seem to have the power of my other one. Do they lose their effectiveness over time? IOW, should I just open it, take the magnet and throw out the rest?
