[ltp] considering getting a T40p

[Paul E Rybski]

Hi Vincent,
	I have this model and I absolutely love it.  I'm running a Debian
stable/testing with a stock 2.4.23 kernel.  I typically can get slightly
over 4 hours or so of battery life with the extended battery using the
internal wireless ethernet interface (madwifi Atheros drivers), slowed cpu
clockspeed (booting linux w/o the power adaptor), the screen brightness
turned all of the way down, and moderate disk usage.  I haven't actually
tried an endurance test with everything turned off and the machine
activity at a minimum since that's not how I normally use the machine.

As was pointed out earlier, you can move the irqs around to fit your
needs.
