Fascinating. Besides thanking those who wrote on this listand wrote me "off list", I ask this. If "Trouble" has a point (see below) is there a means of our reading the temperature affecting the chip? In other words, do you make a frame on the screen somewhere or buy special software to actually know the actual temperature in degrees? Such an ability to monitor actual temperature might help people as down the road one's hard drive and computer kind of "inherits" more and more programs and more stuff maxing --for lack of a better word--one's available space etc. since few (andthat means me) upgrade to fastest latest greatest every day. If sighted people read actual temperatures, maybe we should as that might help evaltuatethings. ----- Original Message ----- From: "trouble" <trouble1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2004 4:54 AM Subject: Re: Overheating > not always true on this one.
