Battery isn't always charging right ... sometimes it doesn't wake up ... CD-ROM is dead. So, I'm thinking it's time for a new one. Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) to share regarding the new Thinkpads? I'm considering either an R or T. Also, anyone have any experience getting a Windows refund after buying one of these? Mine will _not_ run Windows, and I'd like to get refunded for their monopoly. There seems to be some bullshit where Micrsoft claims that the hardware vendor has to refund, and the vendor claims that it's MS' job. Anyone have any experience with this? -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
