I picked up a Thinkpad T23, and I would like a few bits for it.

It comes with XP, and I'll leave that on, as occasionally work has
something for me to do at home, but like all my machines, it will boot
into Linux primarily.  I want to make sure the hardware is sound before
I think too much about anything else - but I have this nagging interest
in Slackware (which I haven't used) or Gentoo (which I have).

Actually, if anyone has anything for a T23, I'd be interested in hearing
about it.  Some items I'm looking for are:

2 x 512M PC133 SODIMM modules, to bring it to 1G total.
A good keyboard - one key is bad on this one.

The wireless bits - pci card, antenna, etc.  I have PCMCIA adapters, but
setting it up internally would be nice.

I can source most of this in ebay, but recycle==good, and if someone
wants to be roughly competitive with ebay, I'd just as soon put the
money into the local economy.

I can google, but if anyone has comments or information about the
machine, I'd like to hear that as well.  I am already subscribed to the
LTP list, and I've been running my (t)rusty T21 for many years.

Cheers,
Bret
