  The datacenter was always at 62 degree's,
after working 4-5 hours in
 there, your knuckles started to stiffen up and you'd feel the cold from
 the floor come up into your shins... ah.... good times, good times :-) I
 loved the quietness, all you heard was the sounds of fans whirling away,
 it was a deafening kind of quiet background noise, I miss that. 
   It really is a good feeling.  Only true geeks seem to appreciate it, 
though.

My last boss, who was from the sales end of the organisation occasionally
had to help me move stuff in our data centre. He didn't mind the heavy
lifting but he really hated being in the place. It didn't bother me at all,
especially if the office was hot and sticky.

What I miss is from 20 years ago, in a different place, the 400Hz drone of
power supplies in equipment connected to a motor-generator set. Never mind
the video - does anyone have a sound recording of that?

Peter Coghlan.
