[...] This is just the last in a long series of Thinkpad f***ups. I concluded long ago that ThinkPads are nothing but trouble: buggy BIOSes; broken charge controllers that will ruin a brand new battery in weeks; keyboard / trackpoint assemblies with a one-year MTBF; broken APM and / or ACPI; docking stations that render the machine unusable until you reset and reconfigure the BIOS, etc. Unfortunately I can't afford a new laptop, so I'm stuck with my 600E.
