When I get cold at night I switch to my laptop and use it on my lap to warm up. Not as good as an electric blanket but has more class.

Yeah! I bought a fan that runs all the time that the laptop is on. Morgan (our new kitty) loves to curl up on the keyboard; I use a wireless kybrd/mouse combo w/flatscreen monitor - suddenly, my screen went wild. When I looked over at my lappy, there she was - purring quietly on the keyboard. When I yelled at her, she jumped up onto the arm of the chair then back onto the lid of the laptop, closing it and shutting it down - gotta love kitties!
