    Good to know. I looked at that one. End the end I just built my own plexiglas stand for lunch money. Thanks for the heads up though.

    I think just propping up the back of the laptop gets the temps pretty close to that as well ;) But nothing wrong with a laptop cooler, I may invest in one if one catches my interest.

    Edit: Huh.... I checcked your link after... you basically paid $30 for something a book could have done... but hey, if that's what you were after ;)

    Yeah, but this isn't embarrassing to use in public.

    well you would be pretty embarrased sitting side by side in public with someone using a book versus your fancy cooler :p

    nice cooler thought I must say :D

    I got this stand as well and it rocks. Good luck folding up your book and lugging it around in your laptop bag.
