Do not put laptop on lap

Ghoulish Delight · 09-29-2006, 11:10 AM

I bought a crappy little USB powered pad with 2 crappy little fans at Fry's for $15. It works wonders. It advertises a 10-15 degree improvement, I'd say it's been more like 30-40 degrees cooler. And it's meant that my laptop hasn't had to kick its fans into high gear nearly as often, which is a big power saver. Highly recommended.

It's also so quiet I keep wondering if it's on.

I can picture you walkin up on GD, and looking at the screen. It's off and you look at him like "WTF are you doing?". Just one of those mental pictures as you read the board!

Besides scalding, they say that the heat can cause a man to become impodent (I did'nt read this story yet), something about too much heat for the teticals to function.

But now, with Sony batteries exploding, I'd really be concirned (if I had a lap top).

Also, what would a Lop Top look like if your knees bent the other way??

I'm curious, though, how many people actually work with the laptop on top of their package? I know that I never do, it is always a bit farther down the leg than that.

And the testicles function fine in heat, the sperm in the testicles tend to die because of heat (and this can be accomplished by other activities such as very hot baths. Besides, I want to be sterile (impotence is a different malady not caused by heat generally) which is why I go to sleep at night with my running laptop between my legs instead of the pillow I used to have.
