Re: [Thinkpad] Experience with the R50p?

Yes, I know Bill. Great dealer; I should have thought about
looking there. Thanks for the pointer however--great advice.

I am really disappointed in hearing that there is only one
ultrabay. This means I'm stuck with the A31p. I'm really
sad to hear about the lack of functionality they put into
the R50p.

For me, being able to have three hard disks in a machine
is almost a necessity. I always have two disks in my
machine, so having one ultrabay means I can't have a
roaster in the machine, or a battery, or ...

*sigh*
