Momentarily, brain stops reading the article... and ponders, images flashing before his eyes. GF is sitting there, watching TV, laptop on lap, reading blogs... then whoosh! It explodes! It doesn't bare thinking about. At the very least Gorse Fox's eyebrows would be singed... but he suspects more worrying damage could be caused.

Pictures of the flaming laptop were published this week on the tech site The Inquirer. The computer was on a table and no one was hurt.Thank goodness... mental pictures tucked neatly away. Image of man running round conference centre with trousers on fire diminish.
Let's just hope this was a flash in the pan.
The Inquirer, which is published by VNU Business Publications, quoted an eyewitness who said the computer produced "several explosions for more than five minutes." The fire was put out with fire extinguishers.Maybe future models should come with sprinkler systems? Or maybe that's why they're laptops.
