When I bought my latest laptop, I also bought a support pack.  This text 
is copied directly from the support pack:

"The turn around time is 3-business days, which is measured from the time 
of logging the call to delivering the repaired unit to the customer."

  What would your translation of this be?
  If I made the support call on Friday (1/28/05), when should I have the 
machine back?

  Feel free to answer for yourself before reading on.

  One translation might be that 3 business days from the time of making the 
call (Friday) would be today (Tuesday).  I should receive the machine back 
today.

  I would be willing to accept a door-to-door turn around.  (They pick it 
up on Monday, so returning it on Wednesday is fine).  I did call late in 
the day on Friday, so a receiving it by end of day Wednesday seems fair to 
me.

  HP support just told me a handful of frustrating things, such as:

a) Saturday and Sunday don't count as business days.  ( I counted the 
business days for them).
b) It is a 3 days after they receive the machine.  Normal turn-around is 
7-10 business days.  ( Why'd I pay extra for a support pack then?)

  I was able to get them to put a rush on it.  Of course, I'm not sure why 
I had to.  Damm offshored tech support.
