    I feel like aircon wasn’t as common back then, especially strong enough to cool all of that

      It’s more likely it wouldn’t be able to handle the number of people + PCs. They are sized for use, and they may be hitting the limit with just the people in there, then add the BTUs coming off all that hardware, and you’ve got yourself a sauna.

      ^ OP thinking 20-years ago was the 1960’s. ;)

        Maybe it is an Australian thing?

        In 2009 the school I went to got aircon

        I have lived in very few houses that have had aircon, if they did it was evaporative and near useless. The house I am currently in is getting aircon installed next week.

        It might be hot in Australia, but mainly we just built houses with insolation and fly screens.
