General discussion

machine overheating

Sep 12, 2004 11:56PM PDT

Check out the laptop desk product designed for roadwarriors. It can be folded & used desktop to elevate the machine a few inches. The angle is ergonomically correct (for me). Nominal expense. YOU CANT SCREW IT UP--PERFECT FOR NON-GEEKS LIKE ME. It is the only thing that allowed my machine to function in Taiwan, where the uneven power supply wreaked havoc with it. (I had too much work to run off the battery and recharge constantly.) Keeping the box elevated keeps it from frying.
