Okay, I'll repeat myself -- I've never had a window mounted A/C unit or 
any A/C at home period. I have A/C in the car because I don't think you 
can buy one without it anymore. Never had it as a kid either. Back then 
businesses with A/C would make a big deal of it. In fact many of the 
places I worked didn't have it. You learned not to drip sweat on the 
schematic you were drafting.

My most recent place of employment has it with a vengeance. Flannel shirts 
in August were de rigueur in programming and QA. TBH other departments 
cooked; big old industrial building with minimal insulation and HVAC 
layout and we were closest to the heating/cooling plant.

Tomorrow it's supposed to be 95 with a low of 55 at night. A window fan 
will be fine, may have to turn it off if it gets too chilly.
