- This is almost certainly the result of a magnetic field generated
- by the motor in the tape drive. I think it safe to say that
- it can't harm you moniotr in any way, save for perhaps generating
- in it a residual magnetic field that might slightly distort your
- sceen image; if your manitor has internal degaussing, then even
- this would be easy to compensate for.

- "If we have been accustomed to deplore the spectacle...of a workman occupied
- during his whole life in nothing else but the making of knife-handles or pins'
- heads, we may find something quite as lamentable in the intellectual class, in
- the exclusive employment of a human brain in resolving some equations, or in
- classifying insects. [This] occasions a miserable indifference about the
- general course of human affairs, as long as there are equations to solve and
- pins to manufacture." Auguste Comte
