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.
