laptop overheating

[bs_texas]

I have my laptop powered up over behind me there with the screen closed. I actually heard some weird noises coming from it and looked over there and touched it and realized it was real hot. The problem appears to be the cat laying on it and blocking the fan vents. A gentle nudge to knock the cat off the desk appears to have fixed the problem. The cat was hot to the touch also, but seems to be cooling down now too. :rolleyes:
:D

Let's not pussyfoot around, this is where you need the "cat" command. :)

thros some water on him, that usually not only cools them off quickly, but removes them from the room in less then 2 seconds flat!! :p
