well it should, its only v1.0 usb.......

Well, for whatever reason, it has never installed correctly with the OS install, and I have not even been able to install it myself until about a year ago. It has been a royal PIA.

why don't you look for a t42?  I saw them recently for under $300......

Well, the truth is that I really do not like the touchpads and the way the case is enlarged to accommodate them. I know. Most would call me silly.

Have a great day, Stan!

Hi Stu,

 I agree with your comments on the touchpad, I much prefer the small joystick button or ideally an external mouse.

 There are models of the T42 without that touchpad and in any case you can disable it in the BIOS - but as you say in either case the space is used, however in the models without the touchpad, that area of the laptop makes a good wrist rest area.
