I have never owned any IBM-anything, but an old friend brought by a Thinkpad
he had been given by a "tech friend", so I could see if I could show him how
to use it. It had NO 3½ floppy drive, but some kind of "flash-card" (?)
socket, for plugging-in "factory-burnt ROM'S" which probably cost $100 each!
It also had a non-functioning CD drive, and was quoted $150 "just to evaluate
your problem. Another $200 to $300 to put it right." Right? Who is kidding
whom? If not still under warranty, I'd FO'GEDABOWDIT!
