- That's like saying you don't give a damn how much your car pollutes the
- atmosphere. Maybe someone *else* cares how much your car pollutes the
- atmosphere.
-
- In any case, it's your responsibility not to interfere with licensed
- users of the radio spectrum who are operating legally, and to accept
- interference from them (or shield your equipment if you don't want to be
- interfered with). Most amateur radio operators, although they are not
- technically responsible for the interference (cheap consumer electronics
- are usually at fault), are nevertheless quite willing to help track down
- and eliminate the interference (possibly by additional shielding on your
- equipment).
-
- Fortunately, Macs (including those with plastic cases) are pretty well
- shielded. Saying you don't care about how much you pollute the radio
- spectrum is pretty inconsiderate, though.
