MacBook Pro is NOT a laptop

that is the real reason why I'm not blogging as much as I used to. I used to blog on the run -- or at least, my iBook was mobile. After my first warranty covered repair on the MacBook Pro because of a warped case, I have been told that it runs too hot to really use on a lap -- it should be used on a table top at all times...this keeps the fans cooling its' Intel processors working efficiently. So, now I compute when I am at my desk on my brand new iMac, and at work with the MacBook Pro, this ventilation problem has completely changed my computing habits. That, along with the intense phase of writing, -- but no more bedtime surfing, no more couch potato philosophizing.

I know I made jokes about the first reports of burnt thighs and the cooking potential of the new MacBook Pro's, but I got one anyway with my computer money...and here is how the gadget schools me -- in subtle ways indeed.
