	On my 750C, it gets pretty hot under there, but...

	I almost never use the little legs.  Not that I don't like
them, but I just forget about them and don't go through the trouble
of opening them up.

	But all this could be moot if there are *also* a pair of
extending legs in the bottom of the 760.  Are there?
