Then you received special treatment. I got a TP600 battery replacement
that was good for about 110 days with a 980 day warranty that they did
not tell me about until I called with the problem. -- Which is how I
found out about the 90 day warranty.
Maybe I ought to file a law suit in small claims and subpoena every
document IBM has on batteries <evil, evil grin>. For the $25 filing
fee, it would be really poetic justice to get all of their internal
information on batteries and share it.
