Funny, it was the one big minus for me getting the Thinkpad. And
I know of at least two other people who are currently balking at the TP
because of just that. I happen to love Microsoft's little trackball.
I know this isn't the best forum to ask, but I'm looking for external
backup (pref HD, but if anyone has good tape experiences do let me know)
for my TP. I nearly strangled a guy that kept insisting 'you just insert
this ISA controller...'. He just didn't get it. And his booth was
across from IBM - I was even *pointing* to a thinkpad!
Anyone have any good experiences with external serial/parallel backup?
(I'd appreciate knowing about the bad experiences too so I don't make the
same mistake). Probably best to email me direct and save bugging everyone
on the list.
