I got this through my mail and I want to share this with all of you people :

A couple lost their 25 year old son, Arun Gopal Ratnam, in a fire at
home on June 4th. The son who had graduated with MBA from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison two weeks earlier had come home for a
while. He had lunch with his dad at home and decided to go back to
clean up his hostel room. His father told him to wait, to meet his
mother, before he went back for a few days. Arun decided to take a nap
while waiting for his mom to come back home from work.

Some time later their neighbors called 911 when they saw black smoke
coming out of the house. Unfortunately, 25 years old Arun died in the
three year old house. It took several days of investigation to find
out the cause of the fire. It was determined that the fire was caused
by the lap top resting on the bed.

When the lap top was on the bed cooling fan did not get the air to
cool the computer and that is what caused the fire. He did not even
wake up to get out of the bed because he died of breathing in carbon
monoxide.

The reason I am writing this to all of you is that I have seen many of
us using our lap top while in bed. Let us all decide and make it a
practice not to do that. The risk is real. Let us make it a rule not
to use the lap top on bed or put the computer on bed with blankets and
pillows around....

So please don't repeat this mistake if you have laptop and told others..!!

Thanks nohar for posting this insight. Even many use it continuously keeping it on their lap. Even tht is bad, tht might crash ur laptop. Because it need proper air circulation. So try to use it keeping on a flat surface like a table/desk.

Dear Dhruv,
An implementable 'Not only story' but fact. I can not recollect the same but I read the same sometimes in February 2009, when I was in Cincinnati, US.
It's Refreshing. Thanks!
