Hi Charles!

Hehehheheh. I think I know which one you mean. :)

Ok..  Maybe appliance is not a good term. My T60 has grown into a quite a customized machine with all the progs that I need.  I sure miss them while I am using the T540p right now.  But I don't fiddle with (drivers, config, etc..) making my pcs do anything beyond the norm.

OK..  The T60 is an appliance with all the "tools" I need! LOL

Your experimentation, although noble, is not something I would even attempt with the T60.  The closest I've come to messing with normal operations on the T60 would be live-CD boots of a linux distro that I am curious about.  On the T60, I can Hibernate the current Windows session and boot something else from CD or USB.
