Be careful about "10 day waits"; they have a habit of turning into "10 week waits" or "10 month waits". Whenever I'm skeptical of someone's claims to have something in stock I always ask for federal express overnight shipment. That usually makes them figure out that the item is not in stock after all, if it's not. I saw Compu-D (I think) advertising 810 meg drives for somewhat under $537, but I don't know if those were 12.5mm. I saw Sager advertising 1.3 gig drives (undoubtedly 19mm) for $699 but this probably required buying a Sager computer. Is installing a 19mm-high drive in a Thinkpad totally hopeless even if one is willing to hack up the plastic caddy?
