DL8DTL > Ack! I should have actually LOOKED at the numbers. Silly mistake. But I just looked at the source and ACPI does report temperature in tenths of a degree Kelvin, so I am now baffled as to what is going on. Sorry, but SI or not, "tenths of a Kelvin" is just wrong. Actually, the time you should properly omit the 'degrees' is when specifying a temperature as in 373 K. Still, I can't explain the odd reading of the raw value Dimitry is getting.= . --=20 R.
