[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 267360"] Hah...I have been taking the keyboard and mouse to work with me for a couple years. Maybe even longer. If I hid them in the house he would find them. The desktop computer is old. If I shut it off it takes 30 minutes to get back to where I was. Once it is all booted up it isn't too bad, but it is slow. We bought the laptop in February. difficult child uses that non stop. however he doesn't seem to think there is a problem when the fan is covered on the bottom. I work in a data center. We have this freezing air blowing up through the floor tiles to keep all the computers cool. Yet I can't get through to difficult child that the Laptop must have cool air available to the fan. Anyway - I started taking the laptop to work. I don't leave the house until 11pm, he should be in bed on a school night and shouldn't be up that late on the internet anyway if it isn't a school night. I get home about 1pm and he is in school or just waking up. This way I am sure he isn't on all night. Now he takes it to bed with him, a bit easier to hide than the desktop. [/QUOTE]
