Some do here, if the roof leaks. Ours doesn't. I wouldn't be putting
equipment into a damp or wet warehouse; that would be pretty foolish,
wouldn't it?

It is approaching 100F. Gets well into the 90's, sometimes very close to
100. If the equipment runs there for an extended period of time, it
probably won't last as long as it would in a 60 degree environment. It's
warmer than I'd like to see it. The fact remains, though, that it does
run, and quite well, for the short term we need it to run in that
environment.

Colocation where, precisely? There is nowhere to colocate. Besides, I
have space here that is within the published operating parameters for the
equipment I have, so we're set for the time we need it out there.

Your decision when it affects you. Mine when it affects me. We have to
deal with the reality here. The Maxen, especially those with later serial
numbers, obviously aren't quite as delicate as you've been led to believe.
