Fascinating.
Besides thanking those who wrote on  this listand wrote me "off list", I ask
this.
If "Trouble"  has a  point (see below)  is  there a  means of our reading
the temperature affecting the chip?
In  other words, do  you make a frame on the screen somewhere  or buy
special software to actually   know the
actual temperature in degrees?

Such an  ability to   monitor actual temperature might  help people as down
the road  one's  hard drive and computer kind of  "inherits"  more and  more
programs and  more stuff  maxing --for  lack of a better word--one's
available space etc. since  few (andthat means me) upgrade  to  fastest
latest greatest every day.
If sighted  people read actual temperatures, maybe we should as  that  might
help evaltuatethings.
