I call it "the office" but most casual observers would call it "a garage". I have an electric radiator, but it takes a while for it to make a dent in the icy chill of a morning, and I'm not prepared to leave it on overnight. > Simpler to chop some wood up in the cornwe and set fire to it. I've just set light to my clothes, and that seems to be making at least a temporary improvement. -- Pd

Nah, we're not far enough into the thread for an argument to start yet. Anyhow, he's definitely in need of a PMG5. Mine was a very good heater, and quite reliable, too - never had to trouble the AppleCare once. Cheers, -- James Dore New College IT Officer james.dore(a)new / it-support(a)new |
