Rather than trying to find obsolete equipment that runs at a low frequency, would it be possible to build a Faraday cage around your computer? Has your wife had her sensitivity examined by medical professionals? Is it a physical problem or a psychosomatic condition? How does she react to fluorescent lights? Incandescents? How about driving near a radio transmission tower? Or for that matter, even being in a modern car? If there is an electronic device turned on in the next room but she is not aware of it, does she still experience pain? I don't need answers to these questions, but if there is a medical solution to your wife's sensitivity that might be easier than trying to banish all electronics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA
