between the ppl and the computers/servers giving off heat...I can see that cutting the AC would actually be a sacrifice...maybe not in the 1st day or 2 but eventually the computers would cause the place to heat up...that I say from experience...computers alone (1 computer) can give off quite a bit of heat...

so yeah I appreciate SE making the sacrifice of shutting off the AC and some of the lights to allow the energy needed for the servers to be back up
and actually...I told my husband that Fri was when I think we'd be able to get back on...and it looks like early Fri morning is it ^-^
