Cognos coversion from mainframe to PC

[Art Bahrs]

um.... Robert?
 
    Better check that AC.... While I kept my computer center at 65 degrees
normally.... I did have several times that I lost the AC and the 3k would
continue to run ... even with the temp running well into the upper 90's!

    Over the years I have only seen a 3k give me a High Temp shutdown when the
computer center hit 104 and the temp inside the 3k's cabinets was well over 120
degrees!!  and for the record.... the computer Operator wasn't moving too well
at that point either! hehehe
