My father has taken to his iPad and probably uses it two to three times a week which I consider a lot for him.  Today he presented the device to me and said he could bring up the keyboard and I confirmed that he couldn’t.  I poked at a number of things and when switching windows the OSK would pop up for a moment and I eventually got into a near-physical struggle to keep the keyboard on screen.  After poking around I found the problem:  The iPad was connecting to the Bluetooth wireless keyboard of my iMac a floor and a room away.  The war on cords took another casualty.

Ever since I got an iMac, I’ve noticed some changes in my PC.  For one, the boot sequence hangs on AHCI detection and second, the S3 sleep keeps being disrupted and the computer reboots on waking.   I wonder what is causing such disquiet in slumber and waking.  Not be outdone, my iMac seems to have difficulty finding its keyboard from time to time.  Maybe I should introduce the two and see if there’s a case of unresolved sexual tension on the network stack.
