There was no lasting damage to the laptop, but it was hot enough to singe my (admittedly sensitive) fingertips coming out. In all cases the laptop battery died before thermal protection killed things. Or at least the battery was always dead coming out. I can't imagine the sustaned heat was good for the battery either. That said, *other* stuff in the bag, however, did not fare so well. Melted food (chocolate!) making huge messes, adhesive things that softened and slipped, making unsightly trails of goo, and so forth. Nothing "permanent" but a major PITA nonetheless. - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org High Springs, FL ^^ (email/xmpp) ^^ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.
