It's still my work-horse.  It may be heavy, it may be slow, but sturdy it is!

I still bore people (now it's your turn!) about the following story:  The CMOS
battery had gone insane.  The machine wouldn't remember BIOS settings if I
turned the unit off, so I constantly kept it on suspend (I didn't turn it in for
repairs, 'cause they keep it up to a week, and I couldn't spare it for so long).

Then I went walking in a very, very stormy, rainy night (actually it was a
hurricane, but that doesn't make the story any worse, does it? :-), and
of-course the (unofficial) bag that I carried the TP in got soaked and so did
the machine.  It was totally dead when I got home!

The next day I turned the unit on and it still worked!  As an added bonus:  My
CMOS battery problem had disappeared.  I tell you:  I believe in ThinkPads now!

>it's just a matter of training. ;-)
