Well, I mailed Keith Moore when he offered to collect and summarize
all opinions on the matter.  Unfortunately he hasn't summarized.

I would suggest comp.sys.laptops.ibm.

If you use "thinkpad" the name is in danger of becoming outdated if
IBM were to change the name for their notebooks.  Same thing happened
to the name of this mailing list.  Search  news.groups for the FAQs if 
you're really interested in doing this.
