Thought you'd get a giggle over this application of the Festool DE.
I've been fighting with a computer all day trying to do updates and virus protection. It is a Toshiba Satellite. Thing kept crashing, I was sure I had a virus, then I Googled "toshiba satellite shutdown" and found a suggestion in the Hardware Analysis forum that the heatsink could get clogged with dust and shut down the computer in memory intensive operations.
Someone suggested hooking up a vacum cleaner to the fan outlet to help the cooling along. So here it is!
Well, I've installed Service Pack 2 with the Festool purring in the background, no shutdown. Looks like I'm going to have to take this puppy to a tech to crack the case and clean out the innards!
