From: Werner Uhrig <CMP.WERNER@UTEXAS-20.ARPA> Count me in among the people who are VERY concerned about the MAC overheating. From the first day I felt that the temperature of the MAC, top, left, and bottom sides, are alarming. And after replacing the video-board once, and the screen starting with the same flickering symptons already again that indicated the beginning of the end of the first board, I wonder. Now, the first board was replaced without anyone knowing what's wrong with it or what caused the video-problems, so I can't be sure, of course .... So the heat and my desire to be able to have the screen at angle perpendicular to my line of sight had me improvise as follows: Get 2 plastic gizmos of the kind keeping champagne-bottles (of the cheapest kind) closed and use them upside-down as support for the front 2 plastic feet of the MAC. A definite improvement. Also obtaining the 2 plastic corcs can be fun. If not available in your area due to your age or religious preferences send $5 and me and my friends will help you to some corcs, flown only once !!!! Cheers, Werner P.S. depending on the number of requests, delivery times may vary, of course. -------
