Faxed off the invoice info. Got a call back, asking what our current standards are, so that they send back a machine supported by our standard loads. Excellent.<\/p>\n
Just need to confirm what our standard is, but the model it looks like I’ll be getting (ThinkPad T41p) will have many nice bells and whistles, including a Pentium-M 1.7GHz, plenty of RAM, 60Gb HDD, built-in wireless (802.11b, which will work on our home network, and Bluetooth), 1400×1050 SXGA (only 14.1″ though) screen with 128Mb RAM on the card.<\/p>\n
Sweet.<\/p>\n
It will have been painful to go through this inconvenience, but it would be pretty spiffy to get a nice new machine out of it, a good year-plus before I could otherwise expect it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
