Dear Fred:

I have been following your advice for the past 25 years and this is the first time that I have responded to any of your wonderful articles. But, I thougt that you would mention one precaustion, i.e, keeping the laptop cooling vents open. People hear the term laptop and think it is ok for them to place the laptop firmly on their laps without any regard for the cooling vents that will inevitably be blocked by this positioning. Also, I caught my grandaughter sitting on our guest bed using her computer which was flat on top of the bed. Further, my son called me from Atlanta complaining that his fairly new computer had a burned out mobo. I simply asked him where he used his computer and where is was positioned and guess what?…mostly on his bed or on his auto’s felt car seat. Nuff said!

Thanks for listening,
