not too much to joke about
Well, I knew that I would triger such concersations and people starting to make fun of someone trying to be reasonable. I truly appreciate John's useful comments on how to switch off the WLAN devide, that is what I want to do.
BTW, let me give you my thinking concerning the discussion about microwave and all the other things which we are exposed to anyhow:
YES, we are exposed to microwavem YES, we receive UMTS and other micro waves all over. Compare micro wave to radio actrivity. A few waves dont kill you tha tis right, BUT the waves accumulate like x-rays in your body. So the goal must not be to resignate and give up because there is too much radio out there, the way forward shoule be INTELLIGENT use of digital micro waves where we need them. Do I need WLAN in my childs room if I have a CAT7 Ethernet plug in her room? I hope you agree that its foolish to expose a child to more waves if a CAT7 is availabe. Thanks for all the jokes. Time will tell. I hope your jokes all remain jokes in 10 - 15 years from now. In that sense.Comment

The Touch DOES do a form of shutting down the wifi radio if that connection is not being used, but that does not necessarily completely disable the radio. If you have a USB or SD card plugged in they are being shared via samba and that might still be accessed via wifi from another device even if the touch's player is currently being fed from a wire. So the wifi is still there but not doing much. Every so often it keeps track of whats out there and if any body wants to connect.
The command I gave shuts it down completely, period.

To Mozart Puccini - Like you (and many others), I prefer to minimize these exposures in my home - there is nothing wrong with that, especially when children are involved. Try to have a sense of humor with some of the other posts around here - it's just a convenient way that some people express their opinion. After all, it is actually kind of an amusing simple line of reasoning, don't you agree? If something's popular, legal, and can't be perceived with the senses, then it clearly must be absolutely & exactly identical to all else that fits that same description, and therefore must "obviously" be perfectly ok and fine - right? I hope so!Comment

I just ran a little test, changing from a wireless to a wired connection (so the wireless credentials may still be stored somewhere). As soon as the Touch connected to the wired network it was immediately dropped from the list of connected clients shown on my wireless access point.Comment

X-rays do NOT "accumulate" - unlike mercury in the blood stream!. This is total BS. What actually happens is that the chance of spontaneous cell mutation increases with increased exposure. It's a probability thing.You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...

yeah - I missed that bit... so waves accumulate do they... funny that, I thought they just passed through, like a... like a ... WAVE!

I should have included that too, for added humor.Comment
