just  don't buy a used T40 unless you know it's one of the updated ones.
mine  just cracked its motherboard for the second time.  there's a  weakness
in the case - IBM didn't take into account how users usually pick  up
their laptops (by the front edges or just one corner, for  example).
the early cases tend to flex and crack.  my laptop started  freezing

when new laptops are so cheap.
