Re: TP:"Too Hot for Lap" 755CX Laptop

[Michael Redmond <redmond@engr.wisc.edu>]

I now use a "lapdesk". These are all over the place for really cheap. It is
thin piece of hardboard with a melamine top (or plastic) about 1.5' X 1'.
Underneath is a cloth pillow filled with styrofoam beads. I actually got
mine at a resale place for $1. Probably not so good for airplane trips
because it is a bit bulky.

Thanks
