I was about to raise a point on something - when I shot it down myself.. but it made me think
of something else Jon - I'm not up to date on all your computer set ups - but I know the DML's
server is now hosted in The Barn... where is the web site for The List hostes? Is TwistedBits
hosted off site? (I want so say I remember you telling me it was) - the reason I ask is do you
know how much of the time your systems are running at or near full load? I know you have most
of the units cooled with box fans and desk fans... I used to think it was just because they
were computers patched together and it was cheaper to use an old window fan you had laying
aroudn than to mess with smaller CPU and case fans... now I'm wondering if its because they
actually run that hot?
