All this is crammed into a rather small room (17 m2) with little lighting.
The
only condition I can come up with would be the lack of ground wires in the
house.
That could be a factor, but I'm not sure. Anyone else have any ideas?

No way! We have 3 switches in one building for the backbone-these connect
the cross-campus fiber run, the runs to other floors, the servers, and the
hubs for the machines in the lab, and the other has 2 switches for the
computer lab machines, the router, and the runs out to other hubs on
different floors.

En ligne avec Thor 2.6a.
Amiga: (noun) The most technologically advanced computer that hardly anyone
cares about.
Use in sentence: "I wanted to buy an Amiga for its low price and great color
graphics, but everyone else seems to be using IBMs or Macintoshes. So, to
remain compatible with the rest of the world, I spent three times as much on
a
Macintosh and got only half the graphics capability of an Amiga."
