ThinkPad BIOS 1WET88WW (2.08 ), EC 1VHT28WW-1.04

WARNING: Outdated ThinkPad BIOS/EC firmware
WARNING: This firmware may be missing critical bug fixes and/or important features

Perhaps it could mention what it believes the current versions should
be, so we can check the IBM website before decide we have send the unit
back to IBM to get whatever it is that is bothering it updated (as we
Linux users can't update the BIOS ourselves.)

Also it could mention perhaps some URLs on where it got its information
about what is current from.
