I've got to disagree a little here. The fan is on for a reason, because the PowerBook is excessively hot. Shutting it down is the last thing I would do. As in a car, the Powerbook will cool faster if you leave it running with the fan on. Just stop working with it and the amount of heat generated will be negligible, allowing the fan to do its job that much quicker. And of course, when the 'Book is in deep sleep, the amount of heat generated is almost nil. Cheers - Steve K. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
