Actually, I just read the original //c
manual last week. We can't all be
reading the classics... It makes it
quite clear that the handle should
always be propping the machine up to
allow proper airflow. I don't have the
manual for the IIc+, but I would think
it would be more important to have
proper ventilation there, what with the
internal power supply.
