Maybe IBM's ThinkPad Repair Service has become like
Compaq. They don't do their tech support anymore,
it's farmed out to another company. I tried calling
them with a problem once and they answered right away
but didn't know anything. After the question there
was a long pause and they said, "Um, I'll have to go
check". Then after a long wait that would have given
them enough time to run across the road and ask
someone else, they came back and said: "Um, we don't
know".
