I'll disable it today and see if that makes a difference. Restart your ibook and see if it cools any. Will do. I really don't mind this too much in the winter time. Yes, it's a nice lapwarmer in the winter but rather beastly when it's 98F outside. ;-] Thanks! Alex | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be August 25.
