The "computer room" at NCGR's old building was a 9'x30' room w/no raised 
floor.  There was a 3-ton wall-mount (external compressor) AC at one end 
of the long room, and a 2-ton at the other end.  In the corner of the 
wall with the 2-ton was a 5-ton added to cool the E10K, and ducted to 
the top of the room.  (Later we added another 5 ton.)

This lady was cold while working at the console, so she turned the temp 
controller for the 5-ton to "off".  She then went to lunch.  Room got 
REALLLLLLLY hot...

Ya know, I should collect our stories on this list and make a book out 
of 'em...
