I was interested to read your comments about your TP 240. You mention
that you have several other ThinkPads. Is one of them a 701 because
this is the closest in form factor? I assume the 240 is designed to
be the late nineties version of the 701. I have two 701s and am very
happy with them: one runs W95, the other can be booted between NT,
OS/2, and Linux.
Regards,
David Jones
