Goes both ways: There's other stuff that you'd thought had been around since forever, and then you find out it was invented last Thursday. -- Christian R.

I taped them down to cookie cooling trays to have some air space around them. Then I set up two fans to run over them. This was in the dining room of my house where I had my computers setup. They ran very hot.

I had an r&d budget which meant I got the latest toys,but if they weren't going to be deployed (they really ran too hot) then they got put away. And I had permission to take stuff home from my boss.
