[clug] Microwave/Wireless

[Bob Edwards]

I'd be more worried about standing in the sun on a summer day for 15 minutes
than being near an 802.11 wireless device for several years.

The amount of energy that a microwave is allowed to "leak" before it is
considered to be faulty is significantly more than the amount of energy
that a (non-modified :-) 802.11 wireless device can emit.

Digital TV runs at completely different frequencies.

Cheers,

Bob Edwards.
