The best price of a ThinkPad T60P

Thread Starter 
After the long time thinking, I ordered my IBM ThinkPad T60P 2623 DDU for 2199.

I add 1GB memory and a Ultrabay Hard drive adapter.

I bought this after compare the sale price with IBM EPP program and CISCO EPP program. They are all same at this moment.

The sale is going to end by 5/15. May this is the right time to order it !

I ordered at 5/10 and it will be here by 6/8. And I hope that I won't get the first mass production(the first 20,000 units) which has a yellow jump wire on the back of the motherboard.

Please don't hate me for talking about the Yellow wire again. I just read some thing on a website. One guy just got his T60 for 2 weeks. He cut the wire and want to know what it will happpen---

He said that everything is fine except the realtime clock won't hold the time anymore. Example: He turned his machine of at 12:00PM and turned back on after a couple of hours, it STILL show 12:00Pm.

What's the hell !

Thanks for your comments.

I'm sorry to disapoint you, but if that guy was an ordinary user and not one of T60 hardware designer's team member - his is just a dumb freak. Perhaps he though the manufacturer placed this wire just as a decoration to make the motherboard looking like New Year's tree to attact a curious customers who like to take the new and working stuff apart just to check how fancy it looks like inside.
No one hardware manufacturer wire reworks its hardware after the production for fun, this is necessary for normal hardware operation, so unless you're one of the developers of the particular hardware familiar with the insights of that stuff, cutting it away is the most dumb thing I heard in this regard...

Oh no, you mean he just cut the yellow wire?? You have to cut red wire first, then the silver wire, then the aquamarine wire, and then you can rip the yellow wire out with your teeth. Didn't he read the owner's manual?

Since this is your first post, I'll forgive you for bringing up the yellow wire "again", though. It's really a shame that guy lost the clock on his computer. Who would have thought that cutting a wire on the motherboard would actually stop something from working properly?

If he cut the red one, it would have exploded! Lucky him.
