Hello,

My brother sent me this webpage:
http://www.diarioti.com/gate/n.php?id=12397
(sorry, in spanish)

It says that a IBM Thinkpad laptop "exploded" in New York or some
American airport.
Here more information in English:

http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/22/another-thinkpad-battery-explodes/ ->
from Alan Cox??!!

Anybody has more information? Is it in Sony batteries? Should I
really disconnect the battery then? :-)
How I can know which battery I have? (Laptop T60, maybe is on a label in
battery and I have not looked...)

Thanks!
