[TriLUG] OT: Lenovo Warehouse Sale

[OlsonE at aosa.army.mil]

I got an e-mail from some RTP mailing list I'm on about it... so I'd say word of mouth.

Just what I get for not reading for a week:

Just wondering: did "highly configured"==linux preloads? I'm sorta in
the market: my TP Z61t's battery died, and I can't find a replacement
battery that will stay in, like if I actually pick up the box :-(
But when I IRCed a Lenovo rep, s/he said their current laptops and
netbooks are Windows, period. (Oh well, buying System 76 will no doubt
improve my karma :-)

One more question: how is Lenovo distributing information about the
local warehouse sales? When I and they were both IBM it was pretty
much word of mouth--has that changed?
