Larry,

   I've no idea how the CPUs respond to load/temp. The load is generally
limited to as many open browser tags as the memory will allow. :-)

   Some times the laptops are on for several days continuously, other times
they're shut down between uses.

   I like your suggestion of running ntpdate via cron. What frequency would
you recommend?

Thanks,

Rich
