Hi Bill - this is Svetaswan from the eSens Yahoo 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 theimpression 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 upthe 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. :)
