IBM T30 in for repairs and maybe lost by DHL!?

#1 Post by virgocrush » Tue Dec 07, 2004 7:32 pm

I don't know if to laugh or cry!

Called IBM up to fixed the famous T30 memory slot problem. The DHL shipper box arrived the next day and suppose to be back in 2 Days. I missed the delivery so DHL will attempt to develiver the next day. It's 2 days, and DHL tells me they don't know what happened to it!?!? I'm getting the run around playing phone tag now! This stinks... So who owes me a "new" TP?

Lucky I read the FAQ here and removed my HD and internal WiFI card.

:-)
yes I remember the Fedex plane, saw it on TV.
But I think it crashed into the ocean and blew up.
The Thinkpad did not survive, only a Wilson volley ball, drifting on the water.

this one burned up on the runway in boston or someplace in the NE USA..

my customer was fried because his new 760ED was cooked and all his data melted.. :(
