Well, my 560 just suffered the dread 'broken plastic at the hinge' problem
which seems to affect so many ThinkPads.

Has anyone yet figured out the right glue to use here? My guess is
ABS plastic adhesive, but if anyone has found the 'perfect' glue I'd
like to hear about it. (BTW, I have a remarkable glue selection at home,
the result of owning an Italian car for which replacement parts need to be
rebuilt since replacements are hard to find, but right now 'home' is 4000
miles away:-(

BTW, I'm working under the assumption that IBM doesn't fix this sort of thing
under warrantee...
