Have obtained a USB cooler/warmer as a novelty gift for a friend. (Yes,
I'm quite aware of the limitations of USB - though tried it out, and was
quite surprised how soon it was perceptibly cool! [The warm option _did_
seem very minimal/slow.]) It's the sort that will take two standard
drinks cans (or a beer bottle).

What amuses me - since, obviously, all it's taking is power (I actually
tried it out using the power-only socket on a powered hub) - is this
rectangle printed on the box:

Minimum system requirements
o PC and Macintosh platforms
o 32 MB of system RAM
o 100 MB available hard disk space
o One available USB 2.0 port

I like to _hope_ there's someone with a sense of humour involved, though
I fear it's really just a communications breakdown within the (probably
Chinese) manufacturer. [Oh, there's no software control - it isn't at
all fancy!]

And saying nothing about the actual power specs of the device...

Ah, shoot... I have a Windows 95B laptop from 1997 that came from the
factory with a single USB port, but it might only have 24 megs of RAM...
lol (then again, it wouldn't be USB 2.0 either).

Not really. I have one of these and you really need 240 MB for it to
work well.
