That's what I thought, maybe I'll buy a USB2 PCMCIA card and just plug 
it in when I need a USB port.

Yes I do, but it is not the one that came with this laptop, I replaced 
it with an Intel ProWireless 2200bg that I bought in eBay.  This one is 
supposed to be made specially for IBM laptops.  Before installing it, I 
upgraded both the BIOS and the embedded controller (whatever that is).
