This may well be true.  However, in my experience, the NeXT system
is much less RF-noisy than many other systems that are consumer-certified.

On the other hand, apartments are pretty bad because there might be a
TV set on the other side of the wall against which you put your cube.

Many people may have cubes in their apartments; only if neighbors complain
will anyone do anything about it.  (Or, if you happen to emit enough RF to
blow up FAA communications . . .)
