Heh. Unless it's a Dell. http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/22/dude-your-dell-is-on-fire...

BTW, great job on getting the list started cyber_rigger.

That's funny. I've started turning off my refurbished Dell laptop, due to it getting rather warm when I leave it running for a long time (days on end).

Don,

Dell is quite literally having a problem with some of their laptops spontaneously combusting. I read somewhere that they have done a recall on some of their batteries. Not sure where you would go, but you should check it out.

Thanks. I'll see if I can take a look.

Meanwhile, 3 cheers for cyber_rigger!
