Well, I am taking the plunge.
I am updating my old IBM T23 laptop from Win2k to WINXP Pro.
It's a great little laptop, though technology long passed it by, and at
the moment it only has 384KB of memory. If the update "takes," I'll
update the RAM to 512KB.

This is the machine I let household guests use.

Gosh, if it works out, I'll be as up to date OS-wise as the great
computer gurus here.

Yeah, that's a problem. Someone changes a harddrive, or installs
windows and they think they are a CNE.. We go in and clean up their
messes, all the time

Hopefully, it won't be a problem. I repartioned the single hard drive
and am reformatting it to get rid of all traces of the old OS. There's
an active mailing list for the IBM (now Lenovo) portables, and the
gurus there said I should be able to do the OS upgrade with minimal
hassle. The only worry I have is being able to find all the device
drivers, but I was assured that won't be a serious issue. We shall
see. I also have a master driver CD around somewhere...

Though I like the IBM portables, this is my last, since the new owner
of "Thinkpads" is now a mainland Chinese company.

ibm has an extensive list of all their models and drivers on their
website. They also have an autosizing utility
that will run on your laptop and automagically download and install.

At work we've used thousands of T23's (w xp pro)... found them to be
rock solid

enjoy.

Dennis

Is that the old IBM thinkpad website, or the lenovo website?
