Can't make the water pressure here any worse, and what they do has no effect on my hot water...

Bugger!

[livi]

Fluffer!

[porsche4life]

Keep your fluffiness away from me....

[livi]

Don´t be coy..

You know, I'm not sure Merrel knew what they were insinuating when they put that label there.

[livi]

They probably had a few cocktails in the boardroom when they decided.

[slodave]

Oh man....

Time for that new laptop.
Why is this thing so slow.
It was ok last week.

[slodave]

You have cats? Does the fan always seem to be on at full speed, do you use it on a pillow or blanket?

[livi]

Now what the devil! Figures. They are dragging in a patient into my office. Work, work, work..

[slodave]

Kicking and screaming?

[livi]

You get the picture.

[slodave]

The joys of being a pediatrician. They almost all come in kicking and screaming.

Yes dave, I have a cat.
I do use it on a pillow.
Never noticed the fan.

Have I cooked it?

One guess, the cat hair and dust has plugged the heat sink, with the pillow exaggerating the issue.

Mac or Windows?

Windows.
Can I clean it out?
It does work ok when its cool/ first turned on.

With the laptop off, flip it over and locate the intake and exhaust slats. Exhaust is usually on the side of back. Get a "Can of air", the cans found at a Office Depot type store.. You can also use a regular compressor - like for "tyres", just back off from the exhaust and blow! The canned air is much safer. dust and crap should come out.... Keep it off the pillow/blanket, it needs to breathe... Since you have cats, you have to clean the heat sink once and a while.

[vas930]

Ok.

My macbook pro has no visible vents and rarely kicks a fan on. I have to be careful about putting it on soft surfaces though, the damn thing gets HOT, and then it goes into a mode my Comp Forensics teacher described as "Liftoff" and the fan gets LOUD and it starts to cool down.
