    Lenovo changed the power button on the Z-series and T60, but check out the (virtual) buttons that show up for the wireless radio controls when you hit Fn+F5. Not the most important inconsistency, but it seems worth mentioning.

    The world woves forward, we can't live with the same stuff all the time, it gets old and boring. Do you have sex the very same way all the time every time and thinking it is good to have it that way forever?

    1) Um, that wasn't intended as one of the ever-present Lenovo complaints. I didn't have a ThinkPad before the switch, so, while I do agree that the new power button is less attractive than the old one, I neither miss the old one nor consider it an important change. I'm only pointing out that they forgot to adjust the wireless controls.

    2) I think one should differentiate between new, better, and new & better. Change does not constitute improvement, and, while it is a matter of personal taste, I don't think I've come across anyone who specifically finds any of the cosmetic changes pleasing (though, again, this particular one is especially unimportant).

    3) Please be mindful of the fact that there are a number of children that read these threads, and consider editing your choice of analogy- perhaps to one regarding diet, music, or something else less adult-themed.
