Re: [Thinkpad] Re: La-Z-Boy vs. R40 Collision - R40 loses.

Hi, Bruce:

Thanks for that pointer. I didn't know.

I would like to note that screentekinc.com:
1. was selling new, not used, parts
2. could have easily told me that the part wouldn't interchange and tried to
sell me one of theirs.

I just thought I'd publicly recognize a company and person that is taking
the "high road" in sales, and could be a resource to us in the thinkpad
community.

-Bob
