I wonder if anybody can substantiate or debunk a rumor that in New York City, and maybe in New York State, there is a new requirement to shut off air conditioning systems in buildings in case of emergency, a post 9/11 measure. It is an important issue: Since the computer systems can continue to function, the computer room temperature can quickly shoot up to as high as 140F (60C), there maybe no risk of fire, but a multimillion system can overheat and self-destruct.
