| make sure that you have the processor speed on Automatic (you can have it on High, Automatic and Low). you change this in the energy preferences. this way it slows down while you are doing simple stuff like writing, and reduces the heat.
go to versiontracker.com or macupdate.com and download temperaturemonitor lite if you want to keep an eye on the temperature.
my powerbook 12' is usually around 47 °C, but goes down to around 44 when i am not using it. the fan kick in at about 48°C and goes into overdrive at about 52°C.
