I have a T30 here and it was getting real hot and it cooled down in what seems like about 50% by elevating the laptop up by a 1/2" on all four corners. The hot air exhaust cooled down in about 90 seconds. I feel laptops like this should have "lifts" on all four corners that fold in and out like the lifts on keyboards. This is not the first time I've had to do this. In a rush I just grab 4 packages of 3x3 (inch) postit notes and slip one package under each corner of the laptop. -- Bill Schoolcraft Linuxcare Client Services 650 Townsend Street San Francisco, CA 94103 +1.415.354.4878 http://www.linuxcare.com _ _ | | _____ ____ _ _ __ | |_ __ _ | | / _ \ \ / / _` | '_ \| __/ _` | | |__| __/\ V / (_| | | | | || (_| | |_____\___| \_/ \__,_|_| |_|\__\__,_| by Linuxcare "Simplifying Server Consolidation"
