We have one of these models around, and I seem to recall the red light, too. When I get back to work on Monday (if I remember! :-) I'll ask the owner if it makes a lot of noise at startup...I don't recall it myself... There are a bunch of temperature monitoring apps out there; get one and see what it says. If the fans are not working properly it'll run very hot. Given that it 'Works like a champ' I suspect this is normal. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
