  Yeah. :-/

  In the early days of Digex, we used a Movin-Cool...a 10K BTU indoor
a/c on wheels, a little smaller than a washing machine.  It had a big
flexible hose (18" or so in diameter) coming out the top that blew out
hot air, and a smaller flexible hose (maybe 8" in diameter) that blew
out cold air.  Condensate collected in a catch bucket in the bottom of
the unit.

  These things work *great*, but they're somewhat expensive.  Digex
wouldn't have made it past 1993 if it weren't for that Movin-Cool.
