Better that for them than a lawsuit.

I have heard that there's a guy that makes a thing that's called 
something like "G4 Lapsaver"  that clips onto the bottom of a 
tibook ...  I have a second generation tibook that seems a little better 
heat-wise than the first gen one I had.  I too would never spend my own 
money on a new one, I just can't wait for the time I  can rescue 
one ... =)

I remember thinking a few years ago that if NeXT could just shrink the 
NeXTStation board a little they could have a really cool laptop.  It's 
nice to know that wishes can come true.
