Each model has a "safe" operating range. The Powerbook G4 (per kbase #88062) should only be used when the temperature is 50-95F (10-35C) and relative humidity 20-80% noncondensing. (I don't see any reason LESS than 20% humidity would cause a problem, but I guess static electricity can be an issue when it gets too dry...... I wouldn't know, I doubt the humidity here in south Texas ever gets below a billion percent). The iMac (Summer 2001) (per kbase #58838) specs out to the same temperature range, but can safely be operated between 5-95% noncondensing humidity. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
