FYI, I never have any issues running Toolbox on Win7/64 (knock on wood)...

Subject: [Crestron] Off Topic - killing laptops - any advice?
For the past 5 or 6 years the laptops I use for program development have
been dying (about 1 a year). I have tried Toshiba, Lenovo, HP, and
Panasonic Toughbooks. So this time I tried a Mac Powerbook (with VMware
Fusion and Windows 7. Now the Mac is getting clunky too.
I am probably overloading them, but when I have several copies of Simpl
Windows, Vtpro-e, Autocad, xpanel, Toolbox, and probably a Clearone or
Biamp configuration file (and perhaps Photoshop) all open at the same time
the laptops get pretty hot. Unfortunately I usually need all those things
when working on a program or bringing up a system.
I do a lot of my programming on the road so using a desktop is probably not
an option.
I have been using Radioshack fans and they seem to help, but my Mac is
still getting hot enough to fry eggs or my hands. Any ideas? Or should I
just accept this and budget a new laptop (and software) every year or so.?
Thanks,
Paul
