Airport interference

[Todd Flashner]

Wondering how the airport (and/or 3rd party wireless products) stand up to
interference from microwave ovens and 2.4GHz phones.

When interference is present does it merely slow the transfer rate down or
will it corrupt data? IOW, if I'm trsfering a large file, like and
application, or video clip, across the network while another 2.4GHz gadget
is in use what is the likely outcome upon my transfer?

Thanks,
Todd
