no, i just said that sometimes i use powerbook all day long.
but fan comes up after one hour or so.
anyway, i was watching reactions of MenuMeters for couple days, and i
noticed this:
every tasks which takes full load of cpu, like iTunes compressing mp3 (i
didn't know it's so demanding) will fire up fans. once it is finished,
fans will stop.
the fans will turn up on low-cpu activity (like sufring, typing, etc)
only after some hours.
still, i guess it isn't totaly normal for this machine. right?

wooden desk.
because of overheating, i made sort of "laptop rising" from metal, which
takes heat away and really keeps fans from powering up. but it scratches
bottom of laptop too.
