Thanks for clearing that up Vicky! I think it's interesting that IBM would
put the 300MHz Mobile PII in the low-end 600E machines after also having
it in the high-end of the 600 series, and by interesting, I mean stupid.
Then again, they still do it, and the buyers get to say they have the
newest model ThinkPad even though the CPU is no better than the last
model.
