Recently I walked in a store that had a bunch of apple machines in a
corner.
( mostly imacs ) and pc's .
I couldn't stay and look at the apples, which I always do . :-)
I didn't have the problem looking at pc's. I think that is because in
"idle"
mode they throttle back to low speeds.
But I admit I have the same problem with cell phones, bluetooth and
wifi.
But at least those you can switch off. ( When I am in a hotel, I even
allow
myself to use wifi. )
There is enough research that shows that these frequencies are
dangerous, but I didn't
want to start that discussion. I actually had this discussion with
friends that
are RF specialists, and they agree with me. They are just doing there
jobs :-) .

If you want to discuss this with me further off-list, feel free to do
so.

I get a horrible headache. So I have to switch it off.
My problem is that I am one of those energy sensitive persons that
can't use cell phones.
I have a brand new system sitting there that I can't use. Together
with a nice 23 inch display.
Dirk,
The most common causes of this type of problem are:
- visual - different screens do different things to different
people. A good
ophthalmic optician (not just someone who tests eyesight, but a
professional
eye specialist) will be able to advise and may well be able to suggest
solutions
I am very sure its not a screen problem.
- auditory - some computers emit high frequency noise that can give
some
users headaches. An easy test is to wear closed headphones
- stress.
same for above.
There are also many causes of headache that can be triggered by
computer
use. A neurologist will be able to work through those possibilities.
Radio frequency emissions from computers are much too weak to have any
biological effect.
weak ?
To the best of my knowledge, no-one has ever shown that
such low levels of non-ionising radiation have ever generated this
sort of
effect. I am not saying that I do not believe you, just that if it
is true,
I think that you will be unique, so of enormous interest to doctors.
I am not unique, do some research.
Although headaches are very common, recurrent or persistent
headaches can be
medically important and you should see your doctor if you suffer
from them.
Howard.
