This history of the drive is this. He bought the drive in anticipation
of its use in a laptop he never purchased. It sat around unused for a
couple of years. He forgot about the drive. He saw my laptop and
remembered the drive. It being only 170 mb and having neglible value,
he offered it to me. I suppose he could have sold it to me. Would
that have made it more legal?

p.s.
I posted for help on this list, believing that it would be less
tramatic than trying to explain the above story and get support from
IBM. While I really like my thinkpad, I find their support very
tiresome and irritating EVEN when you have all your paperwork in order.
