Can anybody suggest a reliable online source that supplies legitimate

XP Pro runs on 384KB. I haven't installed any software yet, but the OS
certainly runs properly.


Maybe on 384MB, but no way will it run on 384kb




Oooops. I'm multitasking. Just finished with the lenovo update site. All
is well.

Ahh, but there's an explanation. I have a Thinkpad that predates IBM's
sale of the asset to the Chinese. Lenovo took over the Thinkpad updates
along with the name and other assets. If I want updates, Lenovo is the
place to go.

Although the LEnovo Thinkpads are quality merchandise, I wouldn't buy a
new one because of the Chinese connection.

Of course. :)

One has to remain flexible in your position on all issues.

Most especially for you, since you apparently go through life bent over.

You think I'm kidding? It's an old T23 that was running Win2k on an
Intel Pentium III Mobile CPU running at 1133MHz. Not as old as you are,
but just as creaky. I think it dates to 2001.

Not at all - I believe you implicitly.

Cool - glad it works.

You do realize that Lenovo had been making the "IBM" units for quite a
while, don't you?

Yup, but my Thinkpad was manufactured in 2001, in the good old U.S.A. of
Mexico, or so it says on the sticker label on the back of it. It says
"Made by IBM...Manufactured in Mexico."
