  All bickering aside, the May 28 issue of PC Magazine has Data-PCS discussed
  in Dvorak's column.  He brings up some of the sensible issues at hand when
  propsing such a potentially large source of RF transmission in the work-
  place.  Whether the Commisions involved in this proposal consider such a 
  scheme relative to the use of bandwidth currently in use or an unused band-
  width, I believe they should also look at the health implications.

  Before everyone flies off the handle about paranoid reactions to the RF
  and ELF emissions, which seems to be the popular thing to be concerned 
  about, consider the implications if we ignore the possibility of hazards
  from excessive RF etc. if the workplace, where most of us spend a good 
  sized portion of our lives.  The danger here is these hazards, if they are
  deemed such, would have long term effects and few short term.  In this 
  business, long term is too long to wait for the results of such testing.
  You can all agree we are moving very fast, but, to drive the point into
  the ground, can we afford to be in such a hurry when we are discussing the
  implications of potential health risks.  Apple's lawyers may want to 
  consider the lawsuits people may well present against Apple and whoever
  jumps onto this RF bandwagon.  I don't believe FCC approval absolves all
  responsibility if "something" goes "wrong" down the road...
