NO, it is NOT harsh. She bought a computer, not a radio receiver, and it 
should not act as a radio receiver. If it does, IT IS DEFECTIVE, either in 
construction, or design, or both. Giving a manufacturer a pass for lousy 
RFI design perpetuates the myth that it's somehow "overload." IT IS NOT. 
IT IS POOR DESIGN. Never let a manufacturer make their problem your 
problem. 

BTW -- if you doubt me, check out the FCC website. Their official position 
is that ALL interference experienced by NON-RADIO equipment is the fault 
of the victim equipment. Period. And as Chair of the Technical Committee 
on RFI of the Audio Engineering Society, I can say that that position is 
entirely correct from an engineering point of view. 

My RFI tutorial goes though most of the poor design, and outlines fixes 
for some of them.
