it's gotten progressively warmer since i got it
apparently it has something to do with the SMC storing temperature readings and the averages get screwed up
i just reset the PRAM/SMC and am reinstalling leopard - i can already tell it's muuuuch cooler, even while charging the battery - it doesn't even feel hot anymore 4/24/2008 8:54:30 PM |

the first mac I got was a titanium powerbook and that shit got blisteringly hot.
my new blackbook feels like ice in comparison. 4/24/2008 8:56:31 PM |
