You say you don't move your Thinkpad around - does it sit in the sun? UV
radiation in sunlight deteriorates plastic, and heat damages electronics.
Heat also damages plastic.
I carry my T42 to work each day and home in a Targus padded backpack. No
problems with it or the T21 I got in 2001. I don't use a lot of PCMCIA
cards, so I'm not moving those in and out a lot.
Cheers,
