Hello Chuck:

I looked at

   Home > Notebook > Refurbished > ThinkPad T Series

but found not one T43p.  T61 was the bottom of the
line.  Was I looking in the wrong place?  I need a
T43p or older to maintain compatibility with my
docking stations.

Did I go to the right section?

Thank You!

- Mark
