¡Ay caramba! MacBook is hot

When I smelled bacon wafting from my new computer, I was thrilled -- until I realized it was the smell of my thighs igniting.

    It happens every time...

    Write anything about Apple and the hateful and ignorant come out of the woodwork. This happens on every forum I've ever posted or read. Why are people so offended/outraged/amused by everything written about Apple?

    Just to correct a few things before I go:

    1. Apples don't run on any variant of linux. They run on a mach kerneled version of BSD with a proprietary OS called Mac OS X running on top.

    2. Power Mac Cubes don't over heat and crash all the time. I've been using one for over 6 years now continuously and am even typing this note on it. I pretty much never turn it of, and it was up for 33 days before the last software update was applied last week.

    Sorry about your hot notebook. I'd suggest using some other meat than bacon to describe your thighs, though. ;)
