Back of an RCA portable CD player and I quote:  "This device complied
with part 15 of the FCC rules.  Operation subject to the following two
conditions.  1)  This device may not cause any harmful interference and
2) This device MUST accept any interference which may cause undesired
operation."  and I end quote.

The word is "MUST".  I'm not saying why, but it is an awful funny thing
to require of anything.  No tin foil hat required.

But you might want to wrap your computer in it.
