Went over to Fry's to get a cooling fan for my laptop. About a year ago, an odd little bruise appeared on my right front thigh. It wasn't a bruise - it was a burn mark from my laptop! I mean really if you can't put your laptop on your lap, why is it called a laptop?
Now I set my laptop on a little table with grooves and in setting that on my lap it gave my little burn mark a chance to heal. It still gets a bit warm under the laptop and that can't be good especially during the summer when the air's already warm. Both DH and DJ friend suggested the laptop cooler.
I bought a laptop cooler today at Fry's for $49, also bought DH's birthday gift and couple of electronic cleaners.
It ends up that I'm typing this and other entries with quite a stack of contraptions - the little table with grooves, then the cooler with the fan, then the laptop itself.
Saw Hot Fuzz at the Crest tonight. Very, very funny! DH and I were trying to figure out the last time we went to a movie.

Even older machines can be problematic. I always keep my laptops from actually sitting flat on the surface that it sits on. For me, I was fortunate enough to get it to work using a cheap, cut-to-length wooden dowel rod from a hardware store. By leaning it slightly up also gives a better angle to type.
By cooling laptops, it also allows it to run the fan less, which means less draw on power and is generally quieter.
