Yeah, right, seems plausible.

The last time my laptop did that was when I was solving some Yak-Corral challenge

Coming to think of it,
That might be a good trick if you are unprepared for a presentation before the board,
might buy some time... hmmm...

Maybe the guy with the laptop was from HP.
1. Get a Dell laptop
2. Rig it to catch fire.
3. Take it to a public event with media present.
4. Wait till cameras are around.
5. Set it off.
6. Start yelling, "My new Dell's on fire!!"
7. Let Dell try to live down the bad PR.

It's not exactly encouraging news for the future of methanol fuel-cell powered laptops, is it? (which currently are banned on planes, AFAIK)

One more thing to my don't buy a Dell list.
Top of the list is their tech support.
At the bottom level the tech's know as much about computers as an irish setter.
I had to talk to one for an hour so they could go through their screen list then bump me up to someone with the IQ of a turnip when they had shipped my sister inlaws laptop with the wrong vidio card and then loaded the driver for the listed card. Witch I had told them at the begining of the conversation.
