I prefer to set it at around 20 C (Is that like 70 F?), low humidity, but then, I'm a crazy Winnipegger anyway. And I'm fairly partial to chill.

Foreignheat...*bookmarks word* Perfect.

Okay, I guess it's time for the old ubiquitous temp coversion formula. Can't call myself an engineer or a college graduate if I can't rattle it off of my head:

5(F-32)=9C

Yeah, I know that's not the usual format, but I prefer everything on one line if possible. 20 C is 68 F, or 150 G, in case you were wondering.

You measure temperature in Gauss now?

No, I measure temperature in degrees Grant. You weren't wondering, but

G=(C+273.15)/1.951
