Message-ID: <4312@amd70.UUCP> Date: Wed, 15-Feb-84 00:14:19 EST Article-I.D.: amd70.4312 Posted: Wed Feb 15 00:14:19 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 10-Feb-84 03:32:22 EST References: <877@ihuxl.UUCP>, <194@heurikon.UUCP>, <164@cubsvax.UUCP> Organization: AMD, Santa Clara, CA Lines: 10 I have a couple of questions in response to Peter Shenkin's article. 1) You mean they heat the periphery rooms and then put chilled air in? Is this inefficient? 2) Does anyone else find electric blankets uncomfortable? How can they regulate the heat if the thermostat doesn't know what the blanket's temperature is? Or are you supposed to put the thing *under* the blanket? -- Phil Ngai (408) 988-7777 {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra,intelca}!amd70!phil
