-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brierley, Sean Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 10:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TCP] wireless presentation mouse suggestions? LOL! I'd forgotten about that. Okay, I've been an EMT for over a decade, though am not actively practising any more. A previous employer gave me a company laptop because I was doing a fair bit of work off-hours at home. I additionally used the laptop for presentations, and such. But, I wasn't a developer or manager, so the laptop was a crappy piece of ... old hardware, and it overheated, a lot. Still, I was happy to have it. Well, one presentation, for the CT chapter of the STC--Bill came down from upstate NY to heckle--and got to witness my workaround for the overheating problem: ice packs from my EMT jump kit to keep the laptop cool. Worked like a charm.
