Wonderful news indeed.

Now, if we could get the FCC to evaluate devices for RFI _before_ they are 
allowed to be sold on the consumer market...just had a very hard time 
convincing a property manager who just couldn't believe that some cheap, 
Chinese-made 12V under-the-counter kitchen lights were wiping out everything 
from BCB to 50 Mhz...but then, according to them, 

"No one listens to AM any more."
