It is merely the case that the FCC has (t least) two levels of certification: low and high. A box must get a low rating if it is going to be advertised as a "home" computer (presumbably to protect the TV viewers nearby). Since people rarely watch TV at work, a high rating is called an office rating. You can certainly take it home. Now--is there a law that says that if one person runs equipment that disturbs another person's TV reception, that second person has recourse? lee
