This feels a bit weird. Hubby gave me a laptop pad which has a fan in it. I am used to having this machine feel hot. It is the wrong temp right now. I’ll get used to it.
There was something else amusing I was going to relate. It just slipped my mind. Think of it later (when I’m away from the computer).
The laptop I had in Alaska had been handed down to other family members for a while, and finally wouldn't stay on for more than 5 minutes. So, of course, it came back to me.
I disassembled it (124 tiny screws later) and found green fuzzy military blanket stuff clogging up the cooling vanes, with layers of cat hair, dog hair, and carpet fibers blocking the channels.
Laptops suck air from the bottom and pick up everything. Putting a laptop on a clean, hard surface will extend the life of the laptop 2 to 5 times better than rough handling on the road. And the fan platforms are great for that. Your hubby did good. Give him a tip of the hat from me.

Oh, yes! My amusing little vignette is that LionsDaughter has a cough. She has had the cough for about a week. Now, y’all may remember that only a few weeks ago someone here shared the remedy of putting Vick’s Vapo Rub on your feet, covering the feet with socks and sleeping through the night. Wallah! [SIC] When you get up in the morning, the cough is cured.
She will not try the remedy. She laughs it to scorn.
Well, I now have her cough. She is so generous. I developed it late last night after most of the stores had closed. My cough isn’t bad yet, but hopefully, in the morning, I can give y’all an account of the veracity of that claim.
