I confess to being completely terrified by high temperatures - more than about 23 degrees and I'm ready to lock myself in the fridge. Until recently I could cope with cold really well, but some the blood supply to my extremities is no longer cooperative. The only good thing about that is that my wife now knows what it has been like living with her cold feet for years

To bring this back vaguely on topic - are your electronic gadgets suffering in the heat? They must be getting close to the outside of their specifications, and I heard of a big data-centre in Oz having to shut down cores the other day because the water cooling wasn't coping - of course, that's a different scale, but just wondering.
