I've only noticed this when I'm close to the microwave (<2m) and on a stone-age 2.4GHz network. Similar issue with bluetooth headphones.

Reasonably happy with my hush puppies work shoes for the price (~$50-100). Previous pair lasted over a year, with 3km+ of walking per day.

donnot replied to lazydavy on Buy 3 Get 4th Free for Turanza Serenity Plus Tyres @ Bridgestone
