But as I said in another post... I haven't really feel for heat much in recent memory [that goes back at least a week or two :-)]. When I pulled the 20GB HDD out, it was hard to hold on very long, as you described on your overclocked L50... though I'm betting yours was bit hotter than my experience. Just goes to show how well these little beasts are engineered to hold up to all that heat. It's really pretty impressive.
