exactamundo!... heh [trying not to break my personal rule of never buying
another x86] Actually the heat will be awesome until late spring.  My
place is frequently 64-66 degrees and no more these days.  The heat is
controlled in the first floor appartment and always shuts off before it
heats my appartment by more than a degree or two... the whole thing needs
rebalancing... I think I'll set up the Crimson with a nice long long cord
so it can keep us warm while playing Diablo II.
