Froogle helps. Having a date helps tho. It seems if its made very |

Given I don't see heatsinks on any of them, I figure they don't produce |
| 28 |
much heat or consume much power at all. I've been looking at them more |

since last post, I've yet to see a heatsink. I've only been looking at |
| 30 |
smaller ones but still, if it produced much heat, it would have some |
| 31 |
means of cooling. |
