The only problem I have with my rather conventional equipment in terms
of RFI is when my monitor changes modes, and I am using an AM
receiver right next to it. The sound flickers a bit. I would think
that the home computers and games systems like C64, PCjr, etc.
couldn't put out too much RFI, since they used TVs for monitors...
