We develop here equipment for airborne measurement facilities for meteorological science and the way we stress things makes me sure, over the time, that a system, which has been stressed much more under much more bad conditions do not fail in a phase of been not stressed that hard. Maybe you're right and I caught some kind of "hardware failure", but surely not that kind of failure that we expect due to "overheating" the CPUs. The machine here in front of me is much better air conditioned thatn other systems I stressed. Kind regards, O. Hartmann :>* O.
