No. No more so than it would if the other 30 computers were occupied. The
network devices communicate CONSTANTLY, both during periods when humans are
present, and in periods of complete absence. The ammount of communication
doesn't suddenly go up at night when all the humans go home.
If the amount of traffic is well below the saturation point for the
network -- and presumably it would or you've got a broken network
configuration -- then the one user would probably not be able to detect any
sort of difference.

We tend to buy a lot of stuff from elsewhere. Non-japanese/non-American cars
have a certain appeal to certain folks, that's for sure.

God, I would HOPE the monitor's grounded! Never mind radiation.
