My Migratory Computer (2004-07-12)
There are two air conditioners in our apartment, one downstairs and another one in the tatami room upstairs. In summer our bedroom where we have the computer feels like a sauna. The internal temperature of my computer usually climbs up to about 84C if left in the room even with a fan blowing full force at it. The heat build-up then crashes my computer all the time and could eventually kill it altogether. KL says my computer is like a migratory bird. Every year around July it moves from our bedroom to the cooler downstairs' dining area to escape the brutal summer heat. The dining area is at least a good 5C cooler than upstairs even without air conditioning. So in summer off it goes.
Just one slight inconvenience from the arrangement:
with my computer, KL's laptop, Daifoo (Yes, we allow him to jump on the
table when we eat) and all those dishes and food, the dining table can
get a little too crowded at meal time.
