[DM-MUG] Leopard runs hotter?

[Stuart Thiessen]

Your computer runs hotter?  That is interesting. I am actively using  
Time Machine. I don't notice any changes like that -- of course, I'm  
using a Powerbook G4 1.5GHz, so maybe there is something different  
there? Of course, being Deaf, the fan or other noises wouldn't bother  
me. :-) It is interesting to see the different responses to Leopard.
