That is indeed an impressive testimonial. Another advantage of ThinkPads is that they are designed to be repaired. IBM has the hardware manintaince manuals available for download and parts can be ordered from them. If you confortable opening up computers, one can make repairs. E-bay is a good source for parts for older IBMs. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
