Troo dat.

I spent some time installing 11/34's in crisp (US: chip) factories
to run our process control stuff. Some of the installations were ...
sub-optimal (an un-airconditioned plywood shed in a corner of the 
factory, in one case). There was also a lot of grease & dirt about
as well as high temperatures. I don't ever recall their being a
hardware failure, although Field Circus raised an eyebrow or two.
