Don't be silly, doesn't IBM know that laptops are
going to be used as portables? They should make it
out of heat resistant materials. The rest of the car
didn't melt, now did it? What's the guy supposed to
do, set it outside the car in the shade? If a cheap
car stereo can hold up to a little heat then an
expensive laptop out to be made well enough to do the
same thing!
