Im out of town wrapping up a system upgrade. I used the clients wifi to download a couple of movies to watch on my iphone during the flight home.

I get back to the hotel (where the internet is psychotically slow) and pull my laptop out and it turns on them shuts off and will not power up. Charger appears to be dead. Im freaking out because i still need to transfer the movies to my iphone and because i have a weeks worth of programming on my desktop that hasnt been backed up. But really im just worried about the movies for the iphone :).

I take the battery in and out in a fit of rage and frustration... all the while im praying and cursing like a nervous madman. Then.. right when i am about to stick a fork in the nearest wall outlet to end it all.. it comes back on.

Had to share that. Thanks for listening. And.. NO you will never be able to get back the 5 minutes of your life you wasted reading this thread :).
