[osflash] OT: mac book? or Dell?

[Andrew Eatherington]

Got this the other day maybe this is the problem of the extreme  
overheating. I haven't seen much difference generally. although I  
have come across 'winBooks' that shut down through overheating/ 
workload and have required a cool pad.

"Dear Apple Customer:
Apple has determined that certain lithium-ion rechargeable batteries  
containing cells manufactured by Sony Corporation of Japan pose a  
safety risk that may result in overheating....."

All the best, Andrew
