The problem is, the vents are shared because of a common attic. Not much I can do without affecting myself...except using LOTS of air freshener in the cold air vent...

It was a very good idea though! LOL!

Query: What is AMD and what does it do in the computer?

AMD makes computer chips. They make a lot of controller chips and they used to manufacture Intel CPUs under license to help Intel avoid anti-trust laws. Then they actually started manufacturing Intel compatible CPUs that could run the same instruction set Intel chips can run. Now Intel CPUs are typically in higher-end computers and AMD CPUs are in lower-end ones.

I’m assuming you see something that raises the question?

Oh, and for completeness, AMD = American Micro Devices.

I wish I could claim credit but it was actually inspired by the old Steve Martin routine and what he claimed he answered when someone asked him, “Mind if I smoke?”
