This wouldn't happen to be IBM's repair center in Memphis, would it? These people are the number one reason why one should NOT buy a ThinkPad. I have one unit which has been back there three times since December; the first two times, it was not repaired properly and failed on arrival. (The first time, the screen gradually dimmed and went dark; the second, it failed its own internal RAM test.) Stay away from ThinkPads until and unless IBM hires a contractor that can do warranty repairs competently. --Brett Glass At 08:06 AM 1/17/2000 , Jonathon McKitrick wrote: >Here's a funny one for you... > >I've had a laptop with a bad sound channel for several months now.
