We had about 500 Thinkpads in circulation here in our offices in Ottawa. They were our staple desktop for "consultants-on-the-go." However about 3 years ago we started to have a lot of problems with power supplies and batteries. Other than that, they were tough and dependable. We still use a few in the Lab for mobile testing. -- burns _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
