A Helping Hand when I needed one !

Awesome.  :)

I feel your pain too, because my laptop can barely finish compiling a
kernel without overheating.  It's plenty fast enough (I think), but they
didn't design the thing for sustained CPU usage so the heat goes from a
safe-ish 60C to over 90C.  At about 90C the machine does an emergency shut
off to save itself (the safe highest temperature for my CPU is 62C).  So,
make sure your new machine isn't an Acer Aspire laptop which overheats like
mine.
