There should be some sort of warning in the event of a CME, so I plan to put my Laptop and a couple of mobile phones into the microwave for a few days, just have to make sure I don't switch it on.

If the CME's are going to be as powerful as predicted I would be more concerned about car electrics, most modern cars have built in computers and if the chips get fried they won't go.
