Have you ever worked on your laptop laying on the couch with it resting on your stomach? Slowly you realize it is burning a hole in your body.

2. Shut down thirty or forty of the seventy-three windows you have open.
3. Buy a small cooling fan on the table next to the couch and point it at the laptop.
4. If it is still hot buy a box fan and point it at the laptop.
5. If the laptop still feels hot get a tower fan and set it up to blow directly on the monitor. Leave all the fans blowing at once.
6. You may still need cooling power. Knock a hole in the wall and install a fan used by car-makers to test wind dynamics on new models. Run the giant cord down the block and tap into the city power grid. It will start up slow but within 15 minutes your skin will be was pushed back against your face and papers will be flying all over the room. Crack a window to release some pressure.
