That's pretty bad when the best thing a customer has to say about the product is that they had a problem, but solved it with stuffing tissues into the box! :omg: Seriously, I literally leave mine on 24/7 because I never know if the *$&*# thing is going to boot or not :( Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible

I actually stated that it was the ONLY problem I had, and that it was easily solved. I'll grant you, it was a humorous solution. Furthermore,I never said that was the BEST thing .. I do believe I lauded the notebook for its keyboard and even more importantly for it's battery life .. but of course I could go on about other things, such as it is one of the few notebooks that actually provides a tilt to the keyboard as compared to just leaving it flat .. which is an ergonomic no no that most people have just come to accept when using a notebook. The screen is perfect with no dead pixels. It comes with a built in fax modem hence less need to purchase secondary cards .. and the new ones come with built in wireless so I can even discard the only pcard I did have to buy. You do have my sympathies that your thinkpad experiences were so poor.. by no means is IBM a great company. Also to be fair though, your 570 I believe was a replacement for the 560 which means it is probably pretty thin especially compared to other laptops at the time so perhaps you are suffering the wrath of technology that was really not ready for prime time .. not that is your fault.
