I used a vacuum cleaner and sucked out all the openings I could find, which cooled it some. Then I also got a Xpad-slim. It's running at 40.0C right now. It goes up when I'm doing some heavy processing. Once in a while FireFox 3.0 pushes the temp up, but I can watch streaming movies or YouTube with no problems, although the temp does rise some. My understanding is that HPs are notorious for high temps. :((( -- Raquel ============================================================ Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual). --Ayn Rand -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
