[ltp] IBM Thinkpad T42

[abonilla]

Hi Uwe,

Special contact? :) Well I guess I could go that way, but the most important 
thing here is pressure. If we don't ask for it. Dev's, no-Dev's and users 
then we'll never get it.

You need the Active Protection API for...? HD ASP? And you would be 
interested in that? OK, then I guess we can talk about the fingerprint reader 
(whenever a dev is interested in that, probably when someone gets it) and I 
will start making pressure for the API for the HD ASP.

This is a site so people can ask for it...
