Glad to Have a Hot-Running Laptop
by Tom Bozzo
This has not been a problem for me.(*) This blog is written, and other affiliated computing is performed, on an Apple Titanium PowerBook (400 MHz, Rev. A; the last technological device for which I was an early adopter), call it the "Gray Lady" if you will, the lower case of which gets quite hot without air flowing underneath. Thus, when used as a "laptop," it's typically balanced with a knee and/or lower thigh under each side to allow airspace underneath the unit. Which, I suppose, might be a fertility-enhancing posture.

(*) Not that I'd care at this point. Two is enough.
From the BBC, word that men using laptops on their laps typically reduce their fertility by increasing temperatures in the scrotum.
