Hi Steve
Thanks, exspecially, for your hints regarding the Thinkpad
mailing List.
I had some problems to access the website but have subscribed to
the list now ;-)
You are absolutely correct: Consider joining it, even before
buying !!!

Regarding to your model:
Could you reveal your exact model #: Is it an 2645-5BG/DVD or an
2645-8BG/CD,
or whatever ? Do you know the meaning of the last 3 digit/letters
i.e. as higher
as more new !?

Another point catched my interest: You wrote up to 544MB RAM !?
How comes ? In IBM's specs I read max as 288MB only !?

You are also correct regarding the suggestion to develop an US
contact ;-)
I do have a few but cannot use them as they are computer literate
;-(
Well, they could act as a "US resident buyer". They are unable to
do some
checks and first tests to make sure the unit is working
accordingly to the
announcement !?

The only one competent contact I know is already contacted but
seems
to be very, very busy. I have to wait for this answer.

However I am not in a hurry but will see if I am able to catch an
interesting
X-Mas package for myself ,-))

Once again, thanks.
Regards, svobi

Svobi:
Post your question to the Thinkpad list.
Many members are in Europe.
There's a lot of OS/2 users on the list too.
Consider joining it, even before you buy.
(They've just recently changed their location,
so older references may be in error).

This great list has a searchable archive of past submissions.
Your choice of the 600E agrees with many other list members.
I bought a refurbished 600E last December for all the same
reasons.
Supports (up to) 544MB RAM and large drives -- I added a 20GB
Travelstar.
Accessories, including batteries, are still available (try eBay),
and have become (relatively) inexpensive.

Perhaps you need to develop a US contact who would be willing to
act as your representative and ship stuff to you in Switzerland.
