One person said that the temperature of Dune was not necessarily high. Well, I don't have any references, but I don't think that Dune was a chilly place during the day. If it were, being a desert, the nights would be extremely cold. I would think that in describing a desert world an author would mention if it were that cold. The other explanation is that stillsuits were much more high tech than I believe they were. The suggestion is active cooling with refrigeration. I again don't have any references for this ... does anybody else? Rick Coates ...!tektronix!iddic!rick
