Decades ago, companies kept most of their data on-site downloaded on the hard drives of their computers. But those days - when a simple breeze from an open window was enough to adequately cool computers - are long gone.Just laughable nonsense. Yes, I remember fondly the days when we opened the windows and let a simple refreshing spring breeze cool our IBM 360. Then we opened the windows in our offices to cool our Apple ][ computers.

Yup.
I bet you remember this too.

The 360 was WATER-cooled!
