Axaris After reading this article it came to my mind something I read in either PC WEEK or InfoWorld when the PS/2 line was introduced. It reported on the monitors that they wouldn't work at places below the equator. Also, in a company that purchased model 60's, maintenance people would not dare use their walkie-talkies with the computers' cases open, because the disks would spontaneously reformat themselves! The article appeared in the last page where there are rumors and could have been a joke. Has anybody had experiances like these? Vassilios.
