[TenTec] Omni Body Temperature?

[Duane A. Calvin]

I think I'd rather have a "warm" rig than one filled with dust.  Check
out your PC sometime and see what that fan does for it (although it has
reason to need a fan).  I doubt the Omni needs the cooling, and I don't
plan to do that to mine.  Remember the tube rigs that lasted for years
with no internal fans?
