[P1] new iBook problem...

[Fran Dollinger]

There's a thought! I hadn't gone down that road....how long would you 
think the fan should run? More than 15 minutes? More than 30? I'll try 
to recreate the situation and see if I can make it happen and just wait 
to see if it stops after an appropriate length of time....
Thanks!
