Re: Too hot because it was too cold!

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Along those lines, the company I used to work for had the water line 
freeze up.  The air conditioner and humidifier shut down so we didn't 
over heat.  Actually it was pretty chilly (-20 F outside, which is 
damned cold for Tennessee).  So cold in the building that the water, 
which leaked into the computer room (luckily on the floor, not any 
equipment), froze into an ice sheet. 


Fortunately the System/3 put out a lot of BTU's.  So many that we opened 
the computer room doors to help heat up that end of the building until 
maintenance got it fixed much later in the day.
