On my Wallsteet I suspect that the thing would get VERY hot if running with the lid closed. It gets hot enough with it open.
If you are " ...running programs all the time" the iBook generates heat that has to go somewhere. Generally, a lot of that heat is dissipated through the keyboard area. With the lid closed, it has no where to go. Ken -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
