Yea and 3 months ago you Linux fools were squawking about how Lenovo was
coming up with Linux laptops.

We can see how well that worked out.

The first part of the document covered ´features not supported.¡ Some of
those features are:

* ThinkVantage Active Protection System.
* ThinkVantage Access Connections for SUSE Linux
* ThinkPad Configuration for SUSE Linux
* ThinkPad Power Manager for SUSE Linux
* Wireless WAN Adapter
* ThinkVantage Button
* (Intel Graphics System) DVI Output

Hahaha!

I'll bet you are heading for another Linux boat anchor project.
