[comp.sys.mac] Radiation concerns

mha@memory.UUCP (Mark H. Anbinder) (12/20/89)

We have a client with a cataract problem who is concerned about radiation
emissions from his screen and from his hard disk drive.  Can anyone offer
any comments on the strength of the radiation emitted by a Mac screen and
the electro-magnetic field surrounding an operating hard drive?  Are there
products available or things to do that will cut down on these emissions?

Generally speaking, this is not something we are concerned about, but for
someone with cataracts whose eyes are very fragile anyway, I think it may
be a valid concern.

Please respond via e-mail.  I will summarize to the net if there is any
interest.

NoRad makes a screen cover; I've seen their prices in MacConnection ads.
