>I received a message during an update that my machine, a ThinkPad 600E
>(2645-4BU) had an old BIOS version (1999). I went to the IBM web site, and
>downloaded the latest BIOS, version 1.16 (INET36WW), and on the page, it
>shows a release date of "2001/10/12". I went and performed the update, but
>when I initialized it after the flash, it shows that my BIOS is dated in
>1999. Returning to IBM's site, it shows all flash versions from 1.11
>(INET31WW) through 1.16 (INET36WW) as having a BIOS date of Nov. 20, 1999.

Inet36WW is the most recent BIOS. If you have that you are golden.

Hope that helps,
