Yeah, I tried carrying a tower with a 15" CRT around with me once. That was a pain. 
Why don't you get your company to make a fault tolerant laptop, Chaz?

Yup, I almost always use it plugged in ... you can turn it on again immediately after it powers off, but it will then probably only last about 30 minutes before it powers off again ... 
I'm thinking that it could be that it just gets too hot??

Hmmm, could be. Do you know if it's a common problem with this particular model? Perhaps the manufacturer has a solution? What brand is it?
If nothing else works, try running with the battery removed. I'm thinking the laptop might run a little cooler without the battery in there...
