Would you mind sharing with why this is? It seems to me that there would be a) a negligable difference, or b) putting the cream in *after* it has had a chance to start warming to room temperature would make putting the cream after waiting better. Or maybe I just fell for a troll.......... Otherwise, unless you're using an adiabatic wall to transport your cream to your desk in order to stop any transfer of heat through that yadda, yadda, yadda........ ;-) Jim E-mail: snipped-for-privacy@nwu.edu !*!
