Wade,

I agree and will add that if I were going the opposite direction, i.e., from
cold to hot, I think the last thing  I would do is wait an hour, allowing all
that condensation to form, and then fire up the machine.  I would turn the
machine on immediately upon making the transition, if not before, attempting
to bring the machine to above dew point as quickly as possible.

On the other hand, in going from hot to cold, Alan's advice to let the machine
cool down a bit before turning on is good (but not for condensation).  The
specs say the operating range is bounded at the top end by 95F.  PA has had
quite a few days this summer close to that temperature.  I transport my 2400
from job to job in a BLACK bookbag in an un-airconditioned vehicle.  In fact,
the day my 2400 quit, it was hot.  My turning the computer on not long after
coming in from the heat may have put the Mac outside the envelope and caused
my problem.
