They made an 830? I thought they had the N40 (which I don't know anything
about), the 820, 850, and 860.

I've got a "Woodfield" (type 6020, pre-GA of the 850) which is so
painfully slow under AIX 4.1.4 as to be unusable. It also suffers from a
general lack of integration testing.

I was actually so curious as to whether this was inidicative of the rest
of the ThinkPad Power Series line that I spent MORE money on an 850 (type
6042). To my delight, the 850 works much better... to the point that I
could actually use it to do real work. The left trackpoint button is worn
out though.

Before I start trying to fix it, does anybody have any experience with
repairing anything like this? Should I just be looking at replacing the
whole keyboard?

ok
