Yeah, we've considered moving it, but the location is an issue.  We're
in Canada.  If you don't mind a long flight to the nearest grocery
store, there is lots of quite area around.  Once you get near a grocery
store, you have all the noise of the wireless (and unshielded wired)
world.  

Last summer we were camping North-East of Kirkland Lake at Esker Lakes
Provincial Park.  If you don't know Ontario, that's 9-10 hrs north of
Toronto.  North of the most northerly rail line and highway.  A single
power line comes into the park along the only road.  No phone.  The park
gets its phone with two cell phones connected to two high towers with
directional antennas back to the nearest cell tower in Kirkland Lake,
25 Km away.  Heaven for us.  But, if we lived there, I'd still need a
quieter computer than my Athlon64.
