	I was noticing a classmate's Toshiba notebook yesterday--it was
missing the door that covers the rear ports!  This was one of their 
"Satellite" models too, so I know it can't be any older than my ThinkPad
750C (which is about 10 mos. now), since they came out about the same time.

	It looked to be in very good shape otherwise, but...that aspect
certainly didn't impress me.
