Gulp!!! *looks suspiciously at T61 nonchalantly humming away in the corner*

I would second all of what you said, although aren't T-series supposed to have spill-proof keyboards with drain holes?

I got a Mac from John Lewis a few years ago, and when it was 2 days before the end of the 2 year warranty period (free with JL laptops), it started to repeatedly do the mac equivalent of the blue screen of death. JL collected it from my house in the middle of nowhere and delivered it back a week later having spent £600 on it, all for free, and the guys working on it phone every couple of days for the odd question and status update. So awesome.
