Reply from Tom: So you find it useful to run your 'book open and cool and use two keyboards. Hmm. I can't recall a "duty cycle" in the manual - is there much lore on actual IC failure (or for that matter discrete componentry burning up ) due to aging? The spec is 95F external and temp gauges are available. On the Duo (2300/2400c) List there was a lot of temp reporting chatter re 68040 chips but I can't recall a failure report. The Duos ran closed in the Dock with a hateful fan while Lombards and Pismos have internal fans (running under my hearing threshold). Perhaps Kyle can give us more on outright thermal failure (not screwy behavior which is reported). My mind is open. Solution: a cotton dust cover over the heat venting keyboard? Since I plan to back up the PB to my aging G3's big gigadisk is there a way to run in Target Disk Mode without a monitor on the G3 Desktop computer? If not, what's the best non-FireWire method to keep the two computers connected for backup purposes - without a separate monitor? Thank you very much.
