<<I expect that by now all computers are equipped with thermal shutoff sensors. I understand that my old 166Mhz Pentium has such a mechanism.>> Great! Does that mean that no Wintel CPU should ever die an agonizing, fiery death!? Or does that mean that at any given moment, the Thinkpad that I'm using on the dusty Serengeti plains will suddenly shut off for no apparant reason? Only to peek cautiously back to life when the sun goes down and the jackals have started their hideous, nightly laughing sessions. -Bill_H
