Re: internal temperature

[Pete Hall <pbhall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I had an old CISC box melt down at 120F once on a Sunday when nobody was 
around. Actually, the AS/400 was fine, but several EMC disk drives got 
toasted big time. Fortunately, we were about ready to move to an S30 anyway 
(it was already installed), so we just worked a little faster than we had 
planned. Several very long days were enjoyed by all, and we got a new air 
conditioning unit in the bargain.
