Any number crunching materials specialists out there know at what
temperature liquid crystal displays freeze? Or even better: At
what temperature does the shrinkage of the metal pieces in a TP hard
drive exceed read/write head misalignment tolerances? Is it the
disproportionate shrinkage between aluminium and steel?
Or can ThinkPads get just too damn cold!? : )
