>A well known family lost their 25 year old son in a fire at home.This
>is what happened: He graduated with MBA from University in June.
>Two weeks later he went home and had lunch with his dad at home. He
>then decided to go back to clean up his room at school but the father
>told him to please wait to see his mother before he goes back for a
>few days. He decided to take a nap while waiting for his mom to come
>home from work. Neighbours called 911 when they saw a smoke coming out
>of the house. The 25year old son died in the three year old house.
>It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the
>fire and thus it was determined that the fire was caused by lap top on
>the bed.
>When a lap top is on the bed, the cooling fan does not get air
>to cool off the Hard drive and that was the actual cause of fire.
>There is an uneven surface of the bed sheet which blocks the air
>intake vent below the CPU fan. If a laptop is placed on a flat surface
>i.e. on desk/table, there is a gap between the desk surface and the
>base of the casing to allow air to flow/suck in through the air intake
>vent from the CPU fan to cool of then system.
>The 25 year old did not even wake up to get out of bed as he died of
>carbon monoxide (CO). The reason I'm writing this to all of you is
>that most of us like using our laptops in bed. Let us all decide to
>make it a practice not to do that because the Risk is real.
>Let us make it a rule not to use lap top in bed or put computer on bed
>with blankets and pillows around .
