If only I could get a copy of the open source OS on DVD I'd be doing the same thing, but I don't have a DVD burner  Someone on here was going to send it to me but I never received it. Anyone with it want to help me out?

WTF? 
Maybe the battery shorted out internally?

Carriage and shipment of some kinds of lithium batteries may be prohibited aboard certain types of transportation (particularly aircraft), because of the ability of most types of lithium batteries to fully discharge very rapidly when short-circuited, leading to overheating and possible explosion. However, most consumer lithium batteries have thermal overload protection built-in to prevent this type of incident, or their design inherently limits short-circuit currents
Guess not this one!
I've always wanted to get a Mac to play with, but I'm a single player FPS gamer, and the PC is where it's at for that.
Small update on this:
Dell investigating exploding laptop incident
Wed Jun 28, 2006 9:32am ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Dell laptop computer seen bursting into flames in photographs on the Internet was being examined as part of the company's probe of the incident, Dell Inc. said Tuesday.
"We have captured the notebook and have begun investigating the event," Dell spokeswoman Anne Camden said, confirming the computer was made by Dell but declining to specify the model. No one was hurt in the incident, she said.
The report of an exploding laptop at a conference in Osaka, Japan, accompanied by digital photos, was first published on technology industry news Web site The Inquirer last week.
Dell in December 2005 issued a battery recall for some of the batteries in its laptop due to overheating issues, according to the company's Web site.
Camden said it was too early to draw any conclusions and added that it did not appear that the incident had anything to do with the battery issues related to the recall.
"From here it's going to be a very methodical and meticulous process to figure out what happened," Camden said.

So it was the M1210 that blew up?
