Re: [Thinkpad] Top 3 Best and Worst Things about a new IBM ThinkPad T40

seems obvious since the new slim UB is only 9mm..
same thing happened with the 600 series to the T&A series..

not sure why ibm made a different port rep/dock for these
new series..

FWIW, IMO the T40p and other T40 machines are worth these
inconvienences..
progress always comes at a cost..

this is one reason the T30 is still made..
and one question most who have recently purchased new A31p's
from me, asked.. :-)
