Simple,

Get granny her own computer & IP address on the cable.

Now not only can she chat with her friends and family "ICQ" you can download
RealAudio and give her access to thousands of radio stations. (Talk
Radio+++)

Setup a button on the desktop for her favorite one.

Look ma it's like the old days - Big radio, only this time it has pictures
on the tube as well!

  Subject: [RFI] Interference computer to AM radio reception


  Hello all
  I have just installed a computer in my home.  My mother listens to a local
AM Talk Back Radio Program every night.  When I turn on the computer there
is a whirring noise over the top of the radio reception.  This whirrs to a
level where it is basically blocking out the transmission and levels out.
The radio is a Sanyo clock radio and is never moved off the radio
frequency - when the computer is turned off the noise stops.  I have
purchased a Ferromagnetic Beads clip and attached it to the power extension
lead to no avail.  The modem is attached full time to cable internet.  To me
it sounds like the hard drive on the computer is spinning up to speed and
then levels out.
  I would appreciate any comments or suggestions as to how I can alleviate
this problem - moving my mother or her radio out is not an option.
  Thanks
  Ron
