Summary: Earth's magnetic field is no joke!


As Chuck at hplabsb notes, the Earth's magnetic field can
definitely be a source of consternation.  In fact, just the other
day, I was in the local boob-tube shoppe and noticed a
North-South/East-West directional switch big as life on a Zenith
rear projection monitor!  The instruction manual mentioned right up
front that the switch should be set according to the direction that
the set is facing.  The Tektronix scope I have also mentions in its
manual that the trace-rotation pot may need to be tweaked,
depending on the strength of the local geomagnetic field and
orientation of the scope.  (Never mind, of course, big nearby
speaker magnets!)
