So, JohnC, IBM/Lenovo has switched over to Java for the update utils,
support snoop, etc., right?  Are they more friendly?  Less cranky?

(Confession: I was always confused on T42s with IBMs "nework
locations" profile thing being hot at the same time as the Microsoft
stuff.  I was always out of sync with one or the other.  I didn't have the
machine in my hot hands for long enough to get used to it, though.)

Question: If you have an IBM carrier, can you slap an alternate HD in a T42
without setting up the HD password stuff?  (Not a second HD, an alternate
boot HD.)  That always scared the pants off me.  What if it goes south? 
Goodbye machine and data until you buy another $1000 motherboard?
