Hey, I was only following your suggestion in that topic:

You brought it upon yourself, take it as a compliment that I complied with your suggestion

Funny how you seemed to leave out the most important part of that statement: "well Wooster's anyway".

At any rate it's all in good fun, we both know that. If I had a problem with it I wouldn't have asked for it( ) in the first place.

I pledge allegiance... to the board(read: band)... of Mr. DELL-stuey... and will not fight him... for creative control... and will defer to him on all issues related to the modding(read: musical) direction of the board(again read: band).

That is a great movie.

On that note, have you seen 'Envy'? Not as good but also quite amusing, "where does the **** go?!"

*cough cough*

I raised my lappy on either side -- as was suggesting -- and the temp isn't even getting to 40 on the CPU or 50 on the GPU, when it used to be about 45 for the CPU and 60 for GPU (only surfing web).

Stu -- this means that your suggestion of raising the maching on bottlecaps is looking awfully appealing to me in the near future.

Yeh g raising the laptop up to allow air flow under it is always a good idea.

Hell yeah, it helps heaps. In concert with fanGUI you can keep gaming temps down quite considerably. I actually have a pile of "spare" bottlecaps on my desk in case one of my regular ones goes walkabout...
