NO, it is NOT harsh. She bought a computer, not a radio receiver, and it
should not act as a radio receiver. If it does, IT IS DEFECTIVE, either in
construction, or design, or both. Giving a manufacturer a pass for lousy
RFI design perpetuates the myth that it's somehow "overload." IT IS NOT.
IT IS POOR DESIGN. Never let a manufacturer make their problem your
problem.

BTW -- if you doubt me, check out the FCC website. Their official position
is that ALL interference experienced by NON-RADIO equipment is the fault
of the victim equipment. Period. And as Chair of the Technical Committee
on RFI of the Audio Engineering Society, I can say that that position is
entirely correct from an engineering point of view.

My RFI tutorial goes though most of the poor design, and outlines fixes
for some of them.
