Re: [Thinkpad] Unrecognized memory on a T30

Hello:

Thank you to all who answered my question. I will
contact IBM and attempt to find a way to send in my
notebook when I won't need it (when will _that_
occur?). Also, I suppose I'll need to buy a spare
hard drive since there is information on mine that
is protected under various privacy laws.

Best Regards,

- Mark
