I would guess that you aren't going to see nVidia on a Thinkpad anytime soon 
since the current line doesn't have one and they aren't going to do it 
without creating a new device.  I am also under the impression that the G 
series of notebooks didn't do so well because they were really desktop in a 
carry case.  Not sure what would be the advantage of an nVidia chipset in a 
laptop anyway the power and response requirements are a fair amount more than 
the ATI mobile set now, although I guess I could see it on the high end P 
version of the T or Z.

Odd set of address and telephone number, a Mass address with a Maine telephone 
number.  Interestingly enough I've had the same combination.
