   That's interesting, I didn't know that (about the computer or that Erasure   
   were still recording!). I wonder if they have one of the early editions? At   
   first the BBC insisted on linear power supplies to keep interference down in   
   the studios, however as you can imagine they got quite hot and were soon   
   replaced by switched mode. I gather the emissions from the Beebs, particularly   
   with switched mode supplies, are pretty spicy. They looked at what would be   
   required to get it through FCC so it could be sold in the US and apparently   
   gave up at that point :)
