The > apologies here, starting with the "technical" nonsense posted by Steven, > are a sorry commentary on Apple engineering. nevermind portables, how about *desktops*? there is *plenty* of room inside a desktop computer for one or more fans along with large heat sinks, yet this acer desktop specifies a maximum of 95 degrees fahrenheit (35 c) and 80% relative humidity. that means that in a large part of the united states in the past few weeks, the computer could not be used at all. it was simply too hot and too humid. the fact that there is inadequate cooling in a *desktop* is a sorry commentary on acer engineering, far more so than anything apple ever did. now watch the bashers try to rationalize this one. <http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/desktop/0000/Acer/AspireT180/AspireT1 80sp2.shtml> Temperature: Operating: +5oC ~+35oC Non-operating: -10oC ~ +60oC Relative Humidity:Operating: 15% - 80% RH Non-condensing Non-Operating Storage: 10% - 90% RH, Non-condensing at 40� C�
