ACER Travelmate and stomach pains

Tue, 2008-06-17 08:31 — Al (not verified)

Hi all.

 

Interesting thread.

 

I too have stomach pains when I lay in bed with the laptop resting on my stomach. I've tried using a pillow to increase distance but that's no good. I also tried using the metal side panel of a tower case to provide a metallic kind of shield and that didn't help. The only thing to stop the pain is to move the lap top away from my body. That simply has to be RF energy generated within the laptop itself. I thought perhaps it was the wireless network adaptor so I disabled that but to no avail. Surely continued use of equipment which has this effect must be harmful. So much for the term 'laptop computer' as I feel it may well be 'LAptop Cancer Insertion Device". LACID...'laced?'.

Oh, nice pics of the countryside btw.
