- (Please, almighty god, teach those Amis SI units!!! PLEASE! We *never* use
- Fahrenheit, so we also have no conversion formula. Is this below zero (C)?)

- Well, there is indeed a limit. I only know the german term "Taupunkt"
- (perhaps condensation point?): You get inevitable humidity condensation
- below this temperature. Condensation is absolute poison at least for
- floppy drives, but also can cause shorts and corrosion. If you e.g.
- carry a floppy with you through the cold, you should *never* put it
- directly in *any* computer, might cost you the r/w head, you have to
- let it warm up.
