Fortunately, Hawaii (unlike Arizona) never gets above 95 degrees outside, but
my office *does* get up to 100 at times, and I've never had any trouble running
machines in this environment.

I agree with this, and strongly recommend the Levenger lap desk (weighs almost nothing,
and provides a useful work surface/thermal barrier).

IBM ran a television advert fairly heavily for a while, in which a TP was used for
communication in a sweltering jungle. I wonder if their tech department and
advertising department talk?
