Once again, make sure that nothing is blocking the ventsâwhich are usually on the side. Never put a running laptop on a cushion or pillow, or inside a bag. You can do so safely only if the PC is off, hibernated, or in sleep mode. If you have a continuing problem, consider buying a laptop cooler.
Texas won its independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. But the fighting did not end there. Mexico refused to give up its claim to Texas as well as the additional territory claimed by the new Republic, and launched military attacks on Texas several times in the ensuing years.
However, the declaration of independence did not save the men of the Alamo. It is believed that 189 men died at the Alamo, including such famous characters as Jim Bowie, William Travis, James Bonham and David Crockett. Several hundred Mexican soldiers also died in their attempt to take the mission fortress.
