Tempest for Eliza -- a program that uses your computer monitor to send out AM radio signals. You can then hear computer generated music in your radio.

"TEMPEST is a U.S. government code word" -- really? other countries use it as well, is there any information on the source?

[edit] Siemon/TERA material

I noticed some Siemon link-spam in other articles (for example, a link masquerading as "Optical Fiber Cabling Standards" on the Optical fiber page). I noticed the same editor posted stuff here about his company's product. I have removed it and put it here on the talk page:

"To prevent signal radiation on data networks between computer networking devices, the TERA Category 7/class F connector is the only copper network cabling to meet the US government's TEMPEST/EMSEC security guidelines. It utilizes fully-shielded S/FTP cable and fully shielded connectivity. Each cable pair is individually shielded and an overall braid shield surrounds all conductors to eliminate any potential security gap caused by signal radiation or emission. Additional shielding is integrated into the outlets and plugs to eliminate all potential signal emissions."
