Seen in some AT&T sales lit on the 3b15: " Operating Environment: ... Altitude: Up to 6580 feet above sea level " Do folks in Colorado have to pressurize their computer rooms? Also, note three digits of precision.

Most of the cost of the 3B15 is the expensive accelerometer which is used to detect a change in altitute that will put the unit over 6580.000 feet. When this happens, the unit explodes. Do not request Air Freight shipment of your 3B15s. :-) -- John Woods, Charles River Data Systems, Framingham MA, (617) 626-1101 ...!decvax!frog!john, ...!mit-eddie!jfw, jfw%mit-ccc@MIT-XX.ARPA "Out of my way, I'm a scientist!" - War of the Worlds
