asalam alaikm,to all brothers and sister who use loptops.
You may have heard that a good friend of ours in Mequon lost
their 25 year old son (Arun Gopal Ratnam) in a fire at home June 4th. This
is what happened. He graduated with MBA from University of Wisconsin-Madison
two weeks earlier and came home. Had a lunch with his dad at home and
decided to go back to to clean up his room at school. Father told him to
wait and see his mother before he goes back for a few days. He decided to
take a snooze while waiting for his mom to come home from work.
Neighbors called 911 when they saw black smoke coming out of the
house. Their 25 year old son Arun died in the three year old house. It took
several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire. It was
determined that the fire was caused by lap top in the bed. When the lap top
is on the bed cooling fan does not get air to cool the computer and that is
what caused the fire. He did not even wake up to get out of the bed he died
of carbon monoxide.
The reason I writing this to all of you is that I have seen all of us using
our lap top in bed. Let us all decide and make it a practice not to do that.
Risk is real. Let us make it a rule not to use lap top in bed or put
computer on bed with blankets and pillows around.
What a way to learn a lesson?
