Finally, did it again! I tried these suggestions and there was no 
change. Also, I can feel air blowing out the back...so, it is the fan 
as someone suspected. Another thing is that the A/C adapter is glowing 
amber like it's recharging the batteries...only thing is, it has been 
plugged in all day hence no battery usage....I had the following 
open...Camino (thanks again, Kathe), iTunes playing some Celtic music, 
SystemPreferences (because I forgot to close it), Mail & Sherlock 
(checking out the Movie thing...mine works fine, also). I'm thinking 
that Apple should at least double the height of the the foot pads on 
the iBook or include a set of stilts with them.
