Hmmm

I have one thing to add to the CAT-5 vs Wireless debate: Cancer and
Leukemia.

I'm amazed that people have so little problems with throwing 2.4Ghz around
the house.
That's *MICROWAVES* for goodness sakes. Inverse Square Law and all that???

Microwave repeaters on hillsides don't give you a personal high dosage,
because of the large distances involved, but surely, the sheer dosage
involved in continuous exposure to 90mw levels of 2,4Ghz radiation must be
a
cause for concern?

I mean, the 1800Mhz band of cellphones are already under suspicion, and
that's well below the resonant frequncy of water (2.6Ghz IIRC)

I shudder at the very thought of a Bluetooth headset. I mean, why not just
*eat* some radium and be done with!

Anyways, returning to your usual, non-paranoid program ...

With one last word: Watch this space. I guarantee a Wireless Networking
related health scare, complete with thousands of victims, within ten years.

Ian.
