The issue is really whether air can flow under the computer when it's on a flat surface. Duos (and previous Powerbooks) are flat on the bottom, so placing one on a table without the feet leaves little space for airflow. The 2400 actually has a concave curve on the bottom, which essentially takes the place of the feet, especially when combined with the little nonslip nubs at the peaks toward either side. You can actually feel warm air escaping from the front and back of the 2400 when it's in use on a flat surface. Your average wooden or laminate table is a pretty poor conductor of heat, and ventilation is among the better ones. I would occasionally put my PPC Duo on a table with the feet raised, and it did leave quite a warm rectangle when the computer was removed. The 2400 does better on the same table, despite the overall higher temperatures inside the case. -- Marc Sira | [EMAIL PROTECTED] "If you can't play with words, what good are they?" ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
