I've read stuff that indicates that anyone who spends
more than 2 hours on a computer is asking for trouble.
Of course, there are people like you and me that spend
much more time than this every day.

Heh, well I think we've already given you enough
suggestions to keep you busy for a while... :-)
You're just going to have try some stuff and
see how they work for you. Like I said before,
I was able to significantly increase my computer
tolerance by doing various things (I don't
really need to use a cellphone, so I never
experimented with this)

Certainly for health research, you can print
the stuff out and then read the printouts
far from the computer. That will limit
your EMF exposure compared to reading things
onscreen.

Personally, I don't think you should worry too much
about about the exact amount of radiation you're
being exposed to. Instead, pay attention to how
you *feel*, and how long you can tolerate being
in that environment before having to get away
from it.

For me, my problems were mostly from computer monitors,
computer (CPU) boxes, TV sets, cellphones, and florescent
lights (including the new spiral energy efficient lights).
I don't think you need to concern yourself with *all*
appliances, because most of them you spend very little
time next to, and they don't put out a lot of high
frequencies.
