If you have a large number of individual subscribers, you have to stay in contact with all of them, and send lots of expensive propaganda such as the offering material/reports. This can add up to be quite an unnecessary expense...
It also raises the profile of the shares held - less families, more investors/investment firms.
Although theory dictates that price shouldn't affect the types of investors, it does have a known psychological influence.
I also have a Thinkpad.. its a 340... the same thing happened, HDD died. Now it's sitting there (its a good lappy for browsing the net etc), and since I can't find any HDD setup params in the BIOS and am wondering if the HDD params are factory set or auto (ie you can never put a bigger drive in there??), I'm reluctant to spend the $$$ on a new or old drive to test if its possible to fit a big 20GB on it....
This may be a similar reason why the Author doesn't want to spend the $$$ on an IBM spec replacement drive, or a bigger drive?? Anyone know the answer to this issue with the old thinkpads??

Hey, think about it, writing computer viruses isn't unlawful. Now, if they are released, that is a different situation....
