  Don't worry about it.

  Not that I'm a scofflaw, but the FCC B regs are for worst case, and
unless you are operating in a situation where you have *unusual*
concerns with RF, there will be no problem.

  I listen to shortwave and TV in here, in a room which often has two
386's and an XT running. Both 386's are running (at the moment) with the
covers open and nothing. My bedroom TV is about four feet from one
system separated by an interior wall. No problem, and she has low
tolerance for interference.
