Hello. Does IBM still make new X31? I ask because there is a seller on ebay auctioning new sealed in box IBM X31. I asked the seller if they are refurbished/reconditioned/recertified and the responce was "These are New purchased in bulk." What do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-Thinkpad-X31-Lapto...
