I haven't always been able to rectify those situations; sometimes I've had so little room that i had to put my laptop on my lap (literally, with the screen part, instead of the keyboard section, on my lap) to watch a movie. <BR/><BR/>The truth is, I was told by a customer service agent that they're called notebooks because they're not meant to be placed on laps- the computers get too hot!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-37262621087505677522008-07-18T15:37:00.000+03:002008-07-18T15:37:00.000+03:00It is nice to be greeted by so many great comments...It is nice to be greeted by so many great comments after my short "sabbatical."

On the trip there I did what she recommended and was fine. <BR/><BR/>On the way back, there was a dude sitting in the aisle seat of our row completely covered under a blanket (including his face) who didn't move the entire flight. I couldn't get past him, and so, sat almost the whole way home. I had taken off my shoes at the beginning of the flight, and when it was time to get off the plane - I couldn't put them on again. My feet and legs had swollen to twice their normal size with fluid!! It was incredibly painful. <BR/><BR/>I had to spend the rest of the day in bed with my feet elevated.frumhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735783157413222489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-24241763906739581972008-07-17T18:26:00.000+03:002008-07-17T18:26:00.000+03:00Sorry, Wink.t' on the way to NY, the guy sitting b...Sorry, Wink.<BR/><BR/>t' on the way to NY, the guy sitting behind my aisle seat kept grabbing my head for leverage when he'd stand up.
