 the 8GB Pi4B which had been running idle

Thinking some more, the USB connections to my desktop Pi are keyboard,
mouse, and a powered USB hub (plus an itinerant powered USB disk drive.) 
The Pi4 is spec'ed to provide up to 1.2A to USB peripherals.  The fact
that my system is hardly drawing any of that probably has a lot to do with
its running so cool.
