is fried.....they had to send it to IBM to replace the system board...

So I'm wotking on a loaner...of the M$ products and mainframe stuff is pushed so I have to reload them everytime I want to use another one,

But gone are ERWin and SQL Server which were installed locally...I can reloead SQL Server no problem, but ErWin with it's complicated licensing and registration took forever...plus I don't know if I should register it on a another machine because I don't know what that will do.

So am STUCK doing DB2 OS/390 DDL Changes and enhancements by hand now....as if working with DB2 could get any more painful....

PLUS, I will have to resynch my model when I get the damn thing back

Damn

I received my new IBM ThinkPad T60P two weeks ago! It is super fast. The P model has the 15" display instead of the 14.1" display.

We don't have options as to which vendor to pick for our laptops. Corporate decides the vendors.

What's the max memory?

We have developers that will be getting Rational application developer, and it's requirement is 2 GB of memory...

What a pig

What ever happened to 16kb?

Oh, that's unix

It comes with 1GB of RAM. I asked for 2GB though and it got approved. Lucky me!

That's a nice laptop... which CPU did you get - the T2500 or T2600?

I've got a M1710 - VERY nice. T2600, 2 GB ram, 100 GB 7200 rpm drive (... and not that it's relevant to work, a GeForce 7900 GTX with 512 MB ram). If you've upgraded to the 2 GB ram, then the only real difference seems to be the screen size/resolution (mine is 17", 1920x1200), and the extra weight I'm lugging around

It might be nice if all software licensing could be done on some kind of roaming profile? Of course, that would have many technical issues (not the least being usage when 'off-net') - but it would be nice to be able to log onto a machine and decide which of your registered software you want to use on the machine you've started using...

Well, I found out that it's going to take 2 weeks.

I wish I had to deliver with an SLA of 2 weeks...lately it's been 2 hours.....

Pure insanity
