 	If the microwave does not interfere -- quite possibly in 
this case because I'm the only person here who uses either, and I 
can't be in two places at once -- does that end that? Or if it's 
leaking but not hitting any wifi, does the leakage do any other 
harm??  Should I be encasing certain particular parts of my 
ancient anatomy in that chicken wire?? <ducking fast, running

supposing you care -- but you can tell who has a mind.
