    Best deal on laptops that my school is offering?

    I concur. Even the Thinkpad T40 was a bit much after a full day trudging around campus. If you are going to travel a lot, IBM X-series plz. Every pound counts.

    Any way to remove scratches from a 2001FP

    I found this http://www.plexusdirect.com/ but the LCD screen plastic is fine matte, not perfectly smooth. Does that matter?

    Any way to remove scratches from a 2001FP

    I was carrying it under my arm and I guess my zipper left a few light scratches in the screen. Is there any way I can buff it out or fill it or something? :(

    Hot Deal? Leadtek 6600GT w/Doom3 & Splinter Cell for $209

    Hot. I paid 215 for my eVGA one and it didn't even have a box. Doom 3 is worth at least $30 right?

    Socket 775 P4 3.0E VCore should be...

    It should be 1.375 right? When I run it at default, my motherboard's diagnosis tool reports it fluctuating between 1.28 and 1.32

    Flat PCMCIA USB card for laptop

    The two slot ones that go <- -> may be your best bet. I would suggest you look for a different wireless card. I know the Orinoco cards are shaped so one side is completely flat and only the other side (facing upwards) stick up.

    Start->Run->open desktop folder doesn't work with SP2 anymore?

    I can do it with the full path, but I used to able to do it using just folder name\ i.e. on desktop there is a folder called photos, so I hit start->run->photos\ and it opens :(

    Start->Run->open desktop folder doesn't work with SP2 anymore?

    Yeah but the point is to navigate files quickly without having to futz with the mouse :|

    Start->Run->open desktop folder doesn't work with SP2 anymore?

    I keep a lot of folders on desktop and access it via start->run->folder name. I used it all the time pre-sp2 but since sp2, this is the one feature that has broken for me. Anyone else experience similar behaviour? It exhibits a little weirdness too. For instance; Start->Run->Desktop works...

    MP3 player $20 +$4 shipping, uses CF media

    Here's another player that uses CF. It's pretty nice but I guess with iPod mini's and Muvo's for around 200 there's not much point :P http://www.frontierlabsamerica.com/pageproducts_nexia.htm

    Are Thinkpad T2x series and Thinkpad T3x series batteries interchangeable?

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they are, but I don't have a T30 on hand to check. T30 batteries are way cheaper than T23 batteries ... :|

    Dead HP Omnibook 6000?

    Er... could the AC adapter be broken? If you see no lights whatsoever on the lappy even with ac plugged in that might be it.
