Or at least their salespeople. Tech support (the only ones available on a weekend, apparently) seemed reasonably competent.
See, I said I wanted to end up with 512 meg of memory in the machine, and was going to use the free 128 upgrade. (Start w/128, 128 more, see? Halfway there?) So the guy sold it that way, with a 256 upgrade as well. Assured me it had three slots.
It has two. And the configuration people never wondered why they were shipping a laptop with both slots filled and a spare 128?
*sighs* I won't type out what I think of them, it's not worth the effort. But tech support told me I could go ahead with setting it up, and the memory thing could be solved by swapping both 128's for a 256. The question is how much I'll have to pay or fight to do this.
It had better not be much.
I have long since wished I'd bucked the company's desires and gotten a Vaio. At this point, I'd rather never deal with IBM again. I hate them. I hate their sales people, mostly. And I still haven't found out the final answer to the XP upgrade thingy (since I haven't turned the laptop on).
I'm not sure I want to. I wish I'd never heard of IBM fucking thinkpads. It's light. It's sleek. It's made by a company whose salesforce is screamingly incompetent.
