New Laptop

Fedex showed up with my new Laptop before Vera went to bible study this morning.  It is new to me, but it is a refurbished one.  My old laptop has been locking up for a long time.  I spent all day installing software and getting it setup. By evening I was ready for a break, so I went to the shop and messed with planes for a while.  While I was out there I turned on the old laptop, after being on it for awhile, I noticed the fan was on all the time and making lots of noise!  After some checking, I found a cover by the fan that exposed the CPU heat sink, it was plugged up with dust and lint.  After cleaning it is running fine, I think the reason for the lockups was over heating!  Now I have two working laptops, I think the old one will stay in the shop and the new one will go to the flying field with me to download the telemetry from the planes as it is much lighter!
