    Thanks to all for the suggestions. I think I will for over the $99 and get
    a copy of Tru64 from HP and set that up. Thanks also for the tips on the
    heating problems. I have heard this before, but I will be more cautious
    about it now. I'll take a look around and get me a new fan and try to add a
    CPU fan if I can. Thanks again for all the suggestions!
