With my T42 2373-CVU (great machine) I thought there woud be a copy of Lotus SmartSuite. However its not in the preinstalled software and there is no CD. Was I mistaken about it being part of the 'package'??

Not sure just where in the manual, somewhere towards the back, you will find the info and phone number to order your free copy.

I've never heard of it. Is it like Microsoft Word, and Powerpoint and all that?

That's something I could use, as I don't have Office.

I use Open Office, which is cool.

Notes has an enormous presence in the corporate world.

Notes and SmartSuite are two completely different products.

And yes, Notes is still alive and well, used by millions of corporate users (and a [censored] sight better than MS Exchange to boot.)

Thanks MRBJR et al . . . I found the page and will order forthwith!

Subsequently found that the info on the Lotus page (p87) of the book is pretty useless. Got immediate satisfaction just by dialing the IBM Fulfillment no. TEL: 1-800-690-3899.

SmartSuite is included with Thinkpads?

What could be easier than calling IBM support (1-800-IBM-SERV) and telling them you want the CD?

They'll ask you the model and serial numbers of your Thinkpad and the CDs usually arrive the next day.

Just meant it was not very obvious. And yes, made the call and they arrived two days later.

Would this apply to my T41P that I purchased back in August this year?

ie: Am I elligibale for a copy also, or is it just for T42?

Yes.

I'm not aware of any T4X series machine that doesn't come with the SmartSuite and Notes licenses.

that link does not seem to apply to residents in US, as I can't pick the country. Other than calling, is there any other way to get the software?

You are correct! A quick phonecall to them should have a disk on its way to you.............
