Lets air underneath. As it runs hot they say now. I have one of their new keyboards hooked up to it. With numbers and everything! And a mouse! And Mouse pad! Those are getting hard to find! If my keyboard goes out I can get a new one for 40 bucks. I can wail on this thing. I never could with the keyboard in the little laptop. I barely posted on the LUG that year. And Which broke when I hit NY. I also have a CD DVD burner hooked up as the internal one does not work at all that well not sure if its working at all. And about 3 external hard drives hooked up. I sit in the middle of an electromagnetic field. I think I'm frying somewhere between shortwave and AM radio. Basically Lit up. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
