The only thing I can come up with is to encase my legs in ice, which shouldn't cause too much harm. I mean, electricity and frozen water are all right together.

Any other ideas?

Put it on a desk. Get a chair. Viola.

I actually think this is the reason my laptop died last week. It was always overheating on my lap/on the cushion I had on my lap to protect my legs. Now I'm on the PC with the big clunky keyboard. Ugh.

I'm thinking of employing an army of baboons to blow cool air on my computer as I type.

Over here we have those 'trays' that you place under your laptop that keep the it from heating through. Some even have fans.

I think it's a capital idea, for those of us who can't turn down the hawtness.

Put a cat on your lap. Put the laptop on the cat. Voila! (You can ignore the clawing if you try hard enough.)

Great. Thanks for that. Now I have to spend the rest of my day not thinking of the obvious punchline.

Have thought of another solution: line your lap with a half dozen blankets.

Oh! Or rig a contraption to hold the laptop from your shoulders. You know, like Survivor man holds his cameras when he's walking.


I amaze myself sometimes.

Maybe some former boyfriend inattentiveness smashed into an evil, black wafer. That'd be pretty cold and keep the laptop's temerpature down, and mostly indestructible (if history proves a correct measure). ;)

Employ (or enslave, whichever's cheaper) a handsome man to hold it where you want. He gets burnt hands, but, hey, chicks dig scars.
