> Hasn't Lenovo made ThinkPads even before they bought the name from IBM?
Right. From what I hear, their ThinkPad series is still topnotch, but the cheaper Lenovo 3000 series of laptops is only average quality. When I bought a new laptop recently, I looked at but passed on the Lenovo 3000 because the keyboard doesn't even have a dedicated Home key. Gary VanderMolen
