Are these warnings about heat really true? How do you even get it out of
your house in a brief case if it can't be *stored* at temperatures higher
than 95 deg F ?

DON' T:                                           
.......  
         * Leave the base of the ThinkPad computer resting directly on your
           body (e.g., legs or torso) during an extended period of operation.
           If you allow heat to build up it could cause discomfort or,
           eventually, a skin burn.
.......
         * Use or store your computer at temperatures below 5C (41F) or above
           35C (95F).
