Why bother?  I mean, does the FCC actually police that kind of thing?
How many PC's are sold in warehouse and deptartment stores now?  Are
they class A?  Just how does the FCC get involved with the sale of
electronic equipment?  Like, is it illegal to sell something that
doesn't have an FCC Class?  How many mom & pop computer stores are
building pc's from the case up?  

The FCC may have some teeth as far as dealing with your local TV or
radio station, and it may even shut down a pirate, or someone running
a 1000 watt CB rig, but what can they do as far as consumer electronics
(computers) goes?  If someone wants to market a pc, or a limited production
device for lab or research work, do they really (I mean, *really*) have to
worry about FCC hassles?  (UL and CSA stuff is a different thing).
