Please I have a ThinkPad that's been back to IBM 5 times still isn't fixed
and the last time it came back the case had been badly damaged. And every
time I talk to IBM its like pulling teeth they tell me "We have already
concussed the repairs on your ThinkPad more then once." As the costumer I
don't care how many times IBM has to foot the bill I want a working
ThinkPad. More importantly Easy Serve continuously forgets to fix things!!!
I don't see how they can claim rigorous testing.
As for software I the other guys case, if the hard drive is making clicking
sounds then it is the hard drive!

Not to play devil's advocate, as Lord knows IBM has enough mouthpieces out
there
including the one cited above, but in _this_ instance, it really does sound
like
a software problem.
I all too often find clients dragging "this POS" into my office and
complaining
that it "won't work". NLT 75% of the time the failure is software related,
not
hardware.
Just my $.02.

James
