So, it turns out... The magnets on the iPad 2 cover are pretty
strong.  You have been warned.
:-/

So making computers and accessories with strong, accessible
magnets is the latest sign that the floppy age is over...  ;-)

This would have been unheard of in the 1990s!


You bet.  I imagine the same is true of magnetic strips on the backs
of credit cards - but I'm not willing to test that!

True.  I've always been amazed at the prevalence of strong
magnetic catches on women's purses.  They must accidentally
demagnetize thousands of credit cards per year.

Hmmm, maybe thats a blessing...  ;-)
