Is the system completely idle when it starts to heat up? Is it plugged in to the AC adapter? What type of surface are you using the iBook on? I have the same model iBook, and I only notice that it gets hot when I am doing something processor intensive, such as compiling something, and usually only when I have it on AC power. I also notice that it seems to heat up more quickly when I use it on my desk, as opposed to when I use it on my lap. -- gram
