Oh. The Aptiva that I had purchased a while back allowed individual file
restoration. I'm surprised that the same scheme is not in place. Of course,
there are other differences between the products; Aptiva allows booting
from CD and the couple of ThinkPad's I have used do not allow that. It has
made me curious, since I had assumed all along that this was considered an
essential recovery feature. Oh, well.
