I wonder why I had some users of those two boxes advocating APM, maybe it used to work better or something. Or I got the T21 and A30 confused with the T23. Well, I don't think we need to support the thre-digit series ThinkPads, the number of those still working is probably on the four digits world-wide. And I haven't heard from anyone with a T21 or A31 in a while, so they might be down to five digits already. If the T23 can actually work well in ACPI mode, I retract my objection. > Re: lasting for years. > Actually, I used to have several of both, but they're dying off, > and they are excruciatingly slow...
