Huh? I CAN'T quote on-line! Whatever do you mean? No upgrades, altho I
WISH he would...I've still got a bad memory chip, and the dang thing
reboots at random. AND my tagline editor is down until I can fix a
corrupted file *caused* by that memory chip...

I just hope it cools off before the NEXT clutch of babies arrives.

It did that when I first got it NEW! I just thought that was how they
worked, so I never returned it. I know that fridges and A/C units kick
out heat from the back, so I figured that the dehumidifier was supposed
to also! (I'd never used one before this one.)

Hmmmm, not ours. It's COLD down there in winter. My electric bills are
awful, from running the electric oil-filled radiator to warm the bird
room. I think we need to move to a more well-built house. I'd like a
"Florida room" for the birds, something where they can get more sunlight
than they do in the basement. But I suppose that would also be hard to
keep cool in summer, and hard to heat in winter.
