[Ti] Need cool air vs. heat Advice

[~flipper]

yes, another new, on-topic thread... we're on a roll all right.

Both of my Powerbooks, (the Ti-667, and even moreso, the Al-1.25 15') 
are running extra warm these days. I live in an un-air conditioned 
place. (I don't recommend it).

I use an elevated thing, the iCurve, but it only allows air to 
circulate underneath, and that's not cutting it.

Last night I think I could have slow-cooked an egg on the keyboard. 
(forget about the underside, it was steamng hot). So, i looked on the 
web for air conditioners (the kind that sit in the window). I can see 
what's out there, but this is a small room, and I'm wondering what, 
if anything, someone out there uses, or knows about.

what about humidity? It was awful here the last few days, and i can 
tough it out, but the 'Books' come first... dem's da rules.

Seriously, I'm worried. I'm on a slave code-writer's salary, (a 
'budget', whatever that means) so I have to be frugal, up to a point. 
(Effectiveness being the true bottom line, though).

Thanks,
