<grin> He should sue Dell! Yes, I am sure, because the 85C are reported e.g. 5 seconds after turning the laptop on after it being off for two days, and while it would be hard to imagine, it also surely doesn't feel anywhere close to 50C at that moment. It always happens when I suspend to RAM and close the lid. Well, not always. As soon as this was posted yesterday, I went to sleep, purposely closing the lid on my laptop while suspending. I actually wasn't surprised to find it *not* going to 85C this morning. Deal with computers and companies like Dell, and there's little that can surprise you! -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system NOTE: The public PGP keyservers are broken!
