	Not to hijack this thread, but I'm looking for a newer 
	laptop (a newer, faster ThinkPad, probably).  There are '
	some seriously cheap laptops "on-sale", but they would
	probably be a bad choice because they have those 
	touch/scratch mouse-pad things that I can't use.  So::
	does anybody know of a ThinkPad clone?  Or, can the touch
	pads be disabled in the bios?

	thanks for any clues, guys,

	gary
