- questions about Mac Mini

[Guest guest]

Hi Bill - this is Svetaswan from the group. Right now, I'm strongly

considering buying an Apple Mac Mini desktop - and from scanning a previous

thread I realize that you mentioned that you used a Mac Mini. So I thought I'd

send you a private email asking you certain questions about it.

From the information that Apple provides about this computer (such as the way it

" smartly " adjusts its power based on the task it's performing, the little

" wattage " it uses compared to other desktops, etc.), one would get the

impression that it is a relatively good, tolerable computer for

electrosensitives. From your experience, do you find this to be the case? Or

does this computer bother you as much as (or more than) other desktops/laptops?

I find the small size of this computer to be a big plus (even a necessity, given

my limited space) - but I'm worried that there may be emr-related drawbacks to

having such a compact desktop. I'm wondering if it may have some of the same

" issues " that laptops are suspected of having - in that such a large amount of

" technology " packed into a small space may mean that the system " skimps " on

cooling/shielding - exposing us to more emr. Do you find that to be an issue -

would larger desktops be more tolerable than a Mac Mini for this reason? Or

does the Mac Mini compare favorably to larger, supposedly " better shielded "

desktops?

From looking over the info, it would seem that the Mac Mini's " efficiency " would

make up for it's lack of size from an emr-standpoint - but you never know.

People's real-life experiences may be different from the advertising...

Right now, I'm planning to " upgrade " my CRT t.v. to an LCD t.v. and hook up the

Mac Mini to the LCD t.v. - this is pretty much the only way I can efficiently

fit a desktop into my bedroom. Hopefully I can tolerate an LCD t.v...

If there is any other advice/insight you can give as far as making a Mac Mini as

tolerable as possible, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much for your time

and help (hopefully this email gets through to you).

P.S. - thanks for taking the time to explain how metals act as both conducters

and shielders (I think that was you). Due to some tough circumstances I'm

dealing with - I didn't get a chance to acknowlege or respond to your careful

explanation. But I read your post...I won't claim to totally understand it, but

I read it.
