PJ WRITES!

Doing my best to find balance in all facets of life and watching the clouds go by.

Giving new meaning to the phrase ‘Hot Technology.’

I was just reading this article about the MacBook Pro - been thinking about getting one but, once again it has been proven to me never to go for the 1.0 version of anything.



Reports are surfacing that laptop batteries have become a cause for concern. A report on CBS-affiliate WCCO talks about how a boy’s Apple G4 iBook burst into flames. Dave Brown, an 11-year old boy left his iBook in the living room only to find that the carpet beneath the laptop had started to melt when he returned. In fear, his parents took the laptop outside only to find it in flames several minutes later. Other users on Apple’s discussion boards have reported that their power adapters have caught on fire and even the FireWire ports on some units.
