In April, I got a new power adapter and everything seemed to be working fine. I don't take my MacBook Pro off the power adapter much at all. When I did the other day, I noticed my computer lasted only like 20 minutes on battery. I lost some work because it just shut down at 65%. I am getting a new battery. I think my lack of cycling the battery, bringing it off the power adapter more often, might have contributed to the battery becoming dysfunctional. We'll see. I am going to follow these guidelines every month with my new battery. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490 chris,

Did you get any hints of the Apple Store?
