The cooling fans suck in air along with dust and dirt. If you're a smoker, the gunk in the smoke acts almost like glue which sticks even more dirt to the insides of the computer. Ever open up a computer that the inside appeared to be covered in yellow hair and smelled worse than an untended cat litterbox? *GACK* Dirt acts just like a warm, fuzzy blanket. Good idea for a cold winter night on your bed, bad idea for computer parts that don't like being extra toasty. ;) ===== Say hello to Juror #49. Yep, I'm on jury duty until the end of March. Gotta call in each weekend. Fun. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
