I for a variety of reasons would not buy close to a high tension line (nasty buzzing noises, snap crackle pop & purple flashes that I have observed at one near my house during rain storms, etc...). I just can't help but feel that close proximity isn't going to do you or your computers any good. I would expect interference on TV & radio to be worse than normal also. -=- ========================================================================== Bob DeBula | Internet: bobd@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu The Ohio State University | Disclaimer: These are my views, not the U's Davros sez: When my Daleks compute they use X-TER-MI-NALS!
