** Note that Fourier transforms do not really \\\"appear.\\\" They can take a radio signal and give the strength of each of a large number of small frequency bands in the larger band of frequencies to which the radio receiver is tuned. What you would see is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrogram something like this.]]

* The 1980s TV Series \\\'\\\'Series/MaxHeadroom\\\'\\\', of all things, was short-lived largely for this reason.

Changed line(s) 5 from:

** Note that this story is set in the future. Even extrapolating from the time that Gibson was writing, it states specifically that the Tessier-Ashpool clan had been in orbit for an unspecified but significant length of time; long enough for the clan\'s progenitors to establish the satellite and die of old age, as well as the next generation going into cryogenic freeze for a mortal generation (Molly\'s lifespan at the time of the story), possibly having done so several times. The process of creating the Boston Atlanta Metropolitan Axis would require at least a full century, which in turn would allow solid-state (silent) desktop computers to become as common and inexpensive as their current real-world equivalents.
