I used to do that with my Wallstreet, but heat wasn't nearly the problem with the old G3s that it is with the Titaniums. My dad has his TiBook (550 MHz) propped up on two ankle weights, so there's a good deal of air space underneath. I keep my iBook on a Podium CoolPad, which not only gives air circulation, but it also raises the keyboard and screen and allows you to rotate the laptop. Of course, iBooks don't build up as much head as TiBooks do either. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
