Hi. This may seem like a really stupid question, but on the white plastic MacBooks where are the vents? I am not sure so thought I'd ask. I didn't think they'd be on the underside that sits on the table, more like in the spine, if you held the macbook like a book book. Also how do you clean the vents? I keep the macbook either atop my dresser in the bedroom, glossy wood, or on my glass computer desk or on top of the kitchen table. Rare for it to sit directly on my lap any more...Okay well that's all. Thanks in advance for any answers. All have a good evening. Jenny
