also mobile phones work down in the miliwatts

Well that is good to hear. I do still wonder about my friend's brain turmor though. Like all technologies, I wonder if the early cell phones were not as good at shielding as they should have been.

Hell, I had a Mom who held babies under open cathode ray tubes as an x-ray tech...they didn't know back then that x-rays were harmful. Everyone she worked with died of cancer in their 50's she lasted until 76 before she developed cancer, I was truly amazed.

It is experiences of friends and family like that that makes me read something like that and think, heh maybe this was written about the early cellphones, so maybe they could have cooked eggs.
