This is an extreme rarity... but it DOES happen... G4 iBook Laptop battery fire PING!
NOT FUD PING! Apple reported fewer than 10 laptop fires from all versions of their line... but recalled 28,000 batteries not too long ago. Dell recalled 280,000 and HP a similar number also for "Fire hazard" reasons after several caught fire. The Consumer Product Commission reports 43 (not counting the one in the picture above) laptop battery fires.
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

I always operate my Powerbook on a hard, flat surface. If I'm in front of the TV, I have a piece of plywood I put on my lap to make sure the bottom of the 'puter has some air running under it. I would do that with any "laptop" (which I prefer to call "portable").
OTOH, maybe he just posted an unpopular message and got flamed.
