One thing that you can do on some Thinkpads is get a converter that will allow you to replace the battery with a 2nd HD. I did this on my older Tpad when doing an HD upgrade and it's a *way* convenient way to copy stuff over without having to deal with external backup mediums. I totally agree on IBM service, which is one reason why I'm a dedicated Tpad user and I recommend them to all my clients. Phil -- Philip J.
