But it almost always starts up if the Pismo has been sitting in the sun and I try to use it (my favorite computing chair is just inside a south facing window). That black plastic really soaks up the heat from the sun. So if you want to test out your fan, I recommend leaving the Pismo in a sunny window for awhile! -- Ione Smith East TN Doberman Rescue -- http://www.etdr.org -- [email protected] -- 865-776-7636 Facts About Albino Dobermans -- http://www.whitedobes.com Speak truth to power -- old Quaker principle --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
