Regarding the article... %>Date: 11-25-89 (13:38) %>From: root@mccc.uucp (Pete Holsberg) %>Subj: Power Lines Affect Computers?? %>Orga: The College On The Other Side Of Route 1 %> %>I'm looking at a house that has power lines running at the rear edge %>of the property and I'm wondering if radiation of any kind from those %>lines might affect my computer, disks, whatever. None of the people %>who live there now have 11 fingers or 3 eyes or even one computer. %>Does anyone have any knowledge about the relative safety/danger of %>that environment to people and electronic devices? %> %>Thanks. I don't know about the power lines, but watch out for AIRPORT RADAR. That stuff can really ZAP a computer system. I once worked in a building on the periphery of the public airport in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. If the windows of the top-floor computer room were open, our old Honeywell minicomputer would crash everytime the airport radar swung by!! -- bag --- ~ EZ-Reader 1.21 ~ For a good time - play TelePoker!
