Yeah! Didn't you know? Ken Ham says so and he has it on very good authority.

I was suffering problems with my tablet earlier, every time that I used my stylus to type "m" the screen dimmed momentarily and the keyboard disappeared. "Oh, oh," thought I, "is this a mischievous virus or something?"

But no, it was entirely due to me trying to be clever - not always a good thing. To "park" the stylus when carrying the tablet around i placed a small, flat magnet under the cover of the spine of the tablet case. Then I put another, cylindrical one in the tube of the stylus so it "sticks" to the case..

Last night I changed to a new stylus and inserted the magnet into its tube. But did not bother putting in the rolled up bit of paper to keep it up near the clip. Close to the position of the letter "m" on the keyboard is the magnet sensor that switches the tablet to sleep mode when the case is closed . . .

Funny!

Reminds me of a story I heard about a company data center. This was back when they ran those huge reel-to-reel tape machines for data storage. Seems every afternoon, all of the machines would stop and unload their tapes. Really had the programmers baffled. Until they actually visited the machines in the afternoon to watch first-hand. As they were trying to diagnose the problem, the sun was setting. The light came through the window, hit the optical tape sensors, and all the machines stopped and unloaded. So, the solution to the problem was to install blinds!
