Re: Upgrade Question

[<laniear@ibm.net>]

Michael,

It seems to me that one piece of information you should include in ANY post regarding 
upgrades is whether your proposed (offered) upgrade does or does not (or whether 
you've taken any action to determine whether) it invalidate the ThinkPad warranty.  
One of the reasons we've bought ThinkPads is the warranty and I think that this is a 
consideration (major or not) to many other buyers.  So, what information do you have 
relating to warranty compliance?

BTW, Dave, you can buy 32M memory modules for the 701 (from IBM at least) and they 
will not invalidate your warranty.
