Heh.  The only problem I have is that the heat those things reach is
worrying me.  I'm leaving it open and will put a fan blowing down onto
the keyboard and hope that helps.

BTW, I'm running Debian-stable on it, with a 2.2 kernel.  Anyone know
how to turn the screen off?  running the LCD screen 24 hours a day can't
be doing it any good.

I will replace it with a regular machine sometime, but am a tad short
of cash riht now.
