Ah, there's the rub... I have an A30p that I bought little over a year ago. It has the complete set of network combos: Ethernet Works like a champ! 802.11b Works quite well with the 'beta' that has been mentioned on this list. Bluetooth Never tried it because I don't have a driver. And a totally worthless Lucent modem! I would not have selected the Bluetooth, but in order to get everything else that I wanted, it was there... NO CHOICE. The key items in *my* choice: * Had to have a large HD: 48BG * Had to have Ethernet. * The 802.11b was a real PLUS, but if it had not been there, I would probably have still bought it. * Had to have the capability to house, *simultaneously*, a DVD/CD-R/RW *and* a diskette. Yes, I know the word is that diskettes are going the way of the dodo bird. But, in my environment, I just could not see being without one immediately available. THIS is the MAJOR item that you give up with the Tnn-series. * I was really hopeful that the modem would work. There were a number of drivers mentioned as 'should work' but they did not even come close. I have not had time to try the one that just came out a week or so ago. * Since I had to get the machine with some form of Windoze, I was adamant that I did NOT want XP. Even though the system was only booted to Win2K long enough to run Partition Magic to set up for eCS, my mind was made up. The system has only run eCS since the install was completed and stable. [circa last March/April or so.] Oh, one other irritation: My old 380-XD TPad handled hibernation very well. This one does not. It will tolerate the battery down to nothing as long as it is not *totally* dead. If I can get it plugged in before it loses all its brains, it will generally recover. I'm not really sure how the Tnn works in this regard. Everything other than the modem and the Bluetooth works just fine, thank you... OK, so you asked the time and I told you how to build a clock... But, this is my view of the A30p. Carl On Wed, 12 Mar 2003 17:10:09 est5edt, Charles McCallister wrote: >Carl, > >Seems IBM is pushing the T models as their top-of-the-line laptops.
