- Give me a break. *How* is "polluting" the radio spectrum like polluting
- the atmosphere? Does it add to the greenhouse effect? What a ridiculous

- I seriously doubt that my IIci is interfering with any licensed users

- Well, that's just the way it is then. Long live plastic cases, that's
- what I say, in my inconsiderate manner. What a stupid argument. If Apple
- could manufacture plastic cases cheaper than metal ones, I expect they
- wouldn't be any too concerned about the radio spectrum either.
