IBM ThinkPad T40 *Unofficial* FAQ

[oaaltone]

As a new IBM owner, I've started putting together an *Unofficial* FAQ on my site. I've only owned the laptop for a little while, but I did quite a bit of research before buying, and I like putting information for potential buyers and current owners in one place to cut down on the Google-frenzy Feel free to tear the FAQ apart or add anything!

Recommend one and I'll add it Seriously, I've had a Samsonite case for years that has worked fine with all my laptops. I also have an old Sony neoprene case from an old Vaio that works well for tossing it in a backpack. EBags.com has a sale on TechWeave laptop sleeves for $9.99. Haven't tried them, but I heard it's decent for using with a regular backpack. I've also heard Targus makes a nice line of notebook backpacks, albeit a little expensive. I've seen them around, very stylish, but I've never had the chance to use one.

I have the "harddrive" backpack offered by EMS(Eastern Mountain Sports). Its worth a look. Its a solid pack, with a removable laptop sleeve that's well padded, and the pack has a rainfly built in. It has plenty of space and if very comfortable to wear. One of the best things is that it doesn't scream- "I have a laptop in this bag"
