When they come, take a close look at the FedEx logo. Between the "d" and the "E" is an arrow. It is a subliminal message placed in the logo on purpose. It is supposed to promote feelings of "forward thinking, progress, and rapidity."
I asked them "What about the logo on the other side of the truck that's pointing backwards?"
"Uh, that's us leaving UPS in the dust."
FedEx used to be my biggest customer in my old life. They paid an advertising company $1.8 million to design that logo. I would've done it for half that.

Weird things are happening....
I was using the computer with a desktop monitor this weekend so I could backup my data and get the laptop ready to be shipped off. I left it running Saturday and came back from a soccer game and it was shut off. Then last night I was trying to run virus scan and it was shutting off every 10 minutes or so. After it shut off one of the times (about the 4th time in a row) the monitor came back on. ::) I realized the pc was running very hot, and I unplugged it from the ac adapter and took it out to the couch so I could watch tv for a bit... it ran for an entire hour without shutting down. THis is the longest it ran all afternoon. I'm guessing the fan or something isn't working. But I still find it bizarre that the backlight came back on, the thing doesn't work when plugged into the AC adpater, but does off the battery... though the battery is draining twice as fast as normal. WTF??? ANy thoughts?
I'm going to contact tech support after I take the kid to school and the electrician comes and goes.

Updates?
I have the exactly same laptop that is also a year old.
I've had good results so far - no problems - and I use it/travel with it a ton.
Keep us (me) informed! :)

I chatted with tech support and they were going to cancel my pick up because the computer is working now. I told them that something obviously is wrong with it since it shouldn't have lost the monitor for 4 days and then have it just shut the power off for 48 hours for no reason. She agreed to pick up the computer for diagnostic testing. It should be picked up tomorrow.
