- I don't know if there's any rational proof for saving money or health,
- but the better EMF shielding *does* prevent your machine from screwing
- actual users of the radio spectrum (like hams, police, fire, etc.), and

- upsetting it every now and then ("ElectroMagnetic Compatability" is all
- the rage these days among competant electronic designers (which lets out
- 99.44% of PC manufacturers :-))).
