alice-teacher [BULK] Computer overheating w/Alice?!

[James Vanderhyde]

My laptop does get very hot while running Alice 2.2 (2009), and Alice  
will drain a laptop's battery quickly. If his computer is overheating,  
it's a hardware issue, though, not Alice's fault. Maybe his computer's  
fan is blocked with dust and not rotating correctly.
