Re: [Thinkpad] Unexpected T23 Shutdown

This just happened to me today, on my T30 (WinXP Pro). When I rebooted, I
immediately started MobileMeter and found that the hard drive temperature
was 63 degrees (C). It normally is stable at 52 degrees, and I wasn't
doing anything exceptional (I believe) to cause the temp to rise so
far. And considering the time to reboot, it was probably in the mid-upper
60s when it stopped the machine.

Very strange. A temp exception alarm might be handy ...
