no, you don't need to mail the thinkpad to IBM. Every city has many authorized
repairs places. I take the laptop in, they diagnose the thing, order the parts,
I go back a few days, weeks, months later, and they replace the part. Since I'm
on 24x7 call and need the laptop all the time, this suits me. These repair
places do get a lower prioriry for parts than EasyServ however. Hence the
Boulder calls to get my priority bumped up.
