Hey, if you rant at the TSA gestapo you could end up in jail - at a minimum
a 45min full-body search.:-) To be fair many of them are reasonably polite
but there are a few with "attitude"... insolent and slovenly. It really
pisses me off to pay $$ to go through an airport and get that feeling like
I'm going to jail.

Well, we're "poor" now, so I haven't traveled on business for halfa
decade (it doesn't pay for me to do so on my "vacations"). I
certainly don't miss it, but the rule still holds; Piss-off the person
that can help you, and you might just as well be dead. ...or worse.
For a while there, after IBM dumped the retail market, the only source
for Thinkpads was www.ibm.com. I now see them at NewEgg and CDW but I'm
not sure under what arrangement... if IBM doesn't "do retail". The IBM
site also has special deals on accessories occasionally too.

EBay has been selling IBM stuff for years. I'm not a great fan of EBay
and in the past month even less so.

I got my Crucial memory from NewEgg because they had the listed part I
mentioned earlier in this thread, with a single rank of 512Mbit chips -
www.crucial.com doesn't seem to specify.

I've been able to find the specs (down to the datasheets, if needed)
before, but dunno about your specifics. I haven't been too worried about
this recently though. It is something to keep in mind.
