A couple weeks ago it was 2F outside,
I opened up the windows turned the heat off got it down to 10F in here and then it finally went down to an ultra cool 40C and my computer worked real well then
that sucks I remember I had an old cyrix P166 machine at university and if I had the heaters on it'd overheat and reboot all the time so I had to sit in the cold to use it properly!
