Hi!
I have a NeXTstation (plain pizza-box type) and it emits a fair amount of RF  
interference, enough that my already mediocre FM reception is destroyed. How  
and where can I shield it to minimize this RF noise? Is there a specific  
component in the (grayscale) monitor or pizza box that is the culprit? Can I  
simply put a bit of tinfoil or something over the outside of the computer to  
shield this? Currently the boombox radio is located about 2 feet to the right  
of the computer. Alternate locations don't seem to help much though. 
Please reply by mail as I do not subscribe to this group.
Thanks In Advance...
