I awakened in the middle of the night with a pain on my leg. I wasn't sure what it was and I could feel the beginnings of a blister.
This morning I have about a 3 inch long and narrow blister with a reddened area about the size of a tennis ball imprint I would guess.
It is a burn. My computer is the only thing that was in my bed that could have burned me. (yeah I know that seems strange, I fall asleep with my computer in my bed on) So my computer really is out to get me.
Also it kinda reminds me that I need to turn it off and take it out of the bed because if it can burn me and blister, then it could likely start a fire.
Live and learn, I guess I knew it got warm, just didn't imagine it would burn me. :scared:
So now I have it covered with a 4x4 gauze bandage because I work around some nasty bugs that I really don't want to get introduced to an opening from a burn.
Be careful with your computers! I'm going to

1. Damn lucky the bed didn't catch on fire. |

People think that laptops can go anywhere but if you put them on something soft like shag carpet or bedding the airflow underneath is cut off. Always put them on a flat hard surface that gives you a little unrestricted airspace underneath.

3. Computers do generate some serious heat |

You really should put it in stand by mode, while you sleep.
