Yes, the T60 is back home. Apparently it's a bad battery, as the techies tested it, and found that the battery had problems in a couple laptops. Mine worked fine otherwise.
I happily picked up my little Thinkpad, and ordered a new 9 cell battery. On coming back home, I reinstalled the original 6 cell battery, and was impressed when it showed good charging. I'm running it off that battery right now, and it's showing about 2 hours charge. We'll see how it lasts in reality.
Of course, I had some 'fun' while at the computer shop. I made the mistake of identifying myself as a Mac user. Here came the "I hate Macs" torpedoes. Their great argument was something to do with Macs only being so resistant to virii because there are so few Macs. I guess exceptional reliability and superior user experience is something they didn't want to address...
I just stood and smiled.
Moving on...
