[ltp] Burning a x60s

[Pablo Vera]

No, it's not acceptable, but if the laptop is really good and your only 
problem comes with applications that are CPU intensive, then maybe you 
need to find some external cooling solutions.

I've seen something like a tablet that goes below the laptop and has 
some fans in it.  It gets its power from a USB port.  You can find many 
of these in eBay, just search for "laptop cooling".
