Re: Temperature

Al,

As Paul and others said, the i5 will function at a relatively wide range 
(compared to humans) of temperatures.

Our COO gave us a directive last year to set our temp at 78-80.  
Personally, I like it there.  Our "problem" wasn't the i5, though.  The 
next morning, when I came in, the alarms on all of the UPS units (i5 and 
PC) were singing a mournful song.  We had to cut the temp back down to 
72 for them, not for the i5.
