Be careful when blowing on the fans though. I have been known to mess
up the bearings in fans when blowing compressed air on them. The way I
usually take care of this is to put something like a toothpick in the
fan to keep it from turning. That said, I use a air compressor instead
of a can of air but still be careful and make sure the fans are running
OK after you are done.=20
Also, they do make those little things you can put on the bottom that
will blow air across the bottom of the laptop. That helps too. They
are not to expensive and they seem to plug into the USB port for power
nowadays.
