Interesting.
I didn't realize that the 2400 was such a "hot" machine!
FWIW, I had a buddy who used his for a server, for a period of time.
Another fellow that I knew used his all the time when traveling. Neither
had the heat problems that you had.
I wonder what was different?
The 2400 is still expensive. Just saw a nice one for 80,000 yen
(Although cheaper than the eMate at 89,000 yen). I was thinking of
getting one and putting a G3 upgrade in it since it had SCSI and PC card
slots which come in handy at times.
Thanks for the tidbit.

Sushi
