The window makes a pretty decent UV filter in itself.  It
takes a long time to get sunlight to erase ROMS.  Normal
flourescent bulbs don't work either.  One of my coworkers
taked some EPROMS to the bulb in his office for two weeks
to try to erase them and not only did they not erase, they
didn't even show any errors in their former programing.
