Anyway, I'll be rooting for the Steelers because I just don't like Arizona teams at all!

By the way, I hereby repent in sackcloth and ashes. Arizona actually went 9-7 this year, not 8-8.

<Travis> is probably right, but I note that the People Who Ought to Know have only made the Steelers a 7-point favorite. I would have expected double digits.

However, don't forget that Arizona beat two pretty physical teams in Carolina and Philadelphia, though admittedly they aren't in Pittsburgh's class. Also, Kurt Warner is no Joe Gecko, and Larry Fitzgerald makes Superman look like a player on the Lions.

About half of them.

The United States doesnt need change, it needs improvement. Keep the change, Obama.

heh

I have a computer question.

Ok suppose there's this person.

We'll call here "person X".

Ok she has here laptop on almost 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

And it's been overheating and crashing lately.

So I know that an overheating problem can be solved by decreasing the ambient temperature around the computer.

I wish I had a kind of plate thingy that was set at 0 degress to sit my laptop on.

I tried little external fans pointed at my laptop=

I have my laptop raised on four little peg thingies so the air can pass underneath it.

Now I've opened both my patio doors and turned off my heat in my apartment so there's a pleasant -5 degrees "breeze" wafting over me and my laptop.

I'm wearing every article of clothing I have, and am rolled up in six blankets like a sausage.

Do you think "Person X" is crazy?

I do.

I'm going to have here committed soon.

Can heat problems wreck operating systems in your computer?

Or does it always shut down before that happens?

If you don't know <person X>, I'd advise not getting to know her.

Ok I got the thing cooled down enough to research on the Net.

Clues? It was shutting down mainly when I was operating someting that uses a lot of CPU- like my chess computer or my cool 3-D Horse Racing game I downloaded.

Or watching streaming video.

So all sites say to open up the lap top and clean the dust off the fan and around the heat sink ports, and then spray it with "Arctic compressed air" product.

Obviously I'm too retarded to open up my own laptop.

I'm a messy person so my Puter is probably just choked with dust.

So I'm assuming I can go to a computer shop and pay them to open it up and clean out the crap??

Ok that's my plan as soon as the stores open again.

I'll have to do it all in "sign language" of course since I don't speak Korean and not one person in Korea can speak English.

Where I live anyway.

OK <MannBee> good luck with your sports gaming being a fan !!!
