IRT the recent tiger transnotes..
i "note" that the one i receives has a 12-01 mfg. date..
even though the battery has a 02-01 mfg. date..
the model is the 2675-61U which is the W2k, northpaw model..
warranty thru 03-03.. pretty good for a one year warranty thinkpad..
the box was emblazoned with a label saying "once you open the box, its
yours..!"
regardless of the nice product, i STILL do not like or much trust, tiger
direct..
for more, see below..

Cordially, :-)
