Now why would that be the case? My machine is considerably hotter inside
than the room outside. Any air circulation should improve things, should it
not? Still, now you got me worried! I would like to figure out what
to do though.  My feeling with electronics is that if it works when
you turn it on, the only thing you can do to break it is to overheat it;
and the only way to do that is to put lagging (ie dust) over it!
