Well, I remember hearing something about their using some Microsoft
email product (Outlook perhaps?)  for their email so I assumed they were
running some flavor of Windows.

Since they're using off-the-shelf laptops, I'd still like to know how
they know it's radiation vs software, because it'd help to know (at the
least) which laptops actually have ECC RAM, for instance, or perhaps
which ones don't need fans for cooling.  As I said, I'm just curious -
no axe to grind either way.
