Last time I talked to him he had tried that but was unhappy about the
connectors not seeming to line up exactly, and not wanting to apply
unusual force [probably a good move]. Then the power went out here and I
had to spend the afternoon on the mower to beat out the threatened
thunderstorm.

He had only tried the drive swap one way (Thinkpad <=>Toshiba) - not sure
which.

Anyone know how large a drive an A20M can take (sorry, don't have the full
model number handy right now)?

 Why does the hardware keep getting faster, and the software slower?
