	okdok
	folks first check acpi is supporting temperature and
	throttling
	by cating
	 /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/temperature
	then
	/proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling
	(state - is normal)
	you can set the throttling state by (say)
	echo 4 >/proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling
	to set state 4

	The script is very crude but it keeps me knees cool:)
	run in  xterm as root.
	hope its useful to someone

	cheers,
	Rob
