    I got the new T60, very pleased. I use it between home office and 'office.' One non-manufacturewr peeve, every time I switch locations and connection, and open a browser the app cycles through the proxy settings and re-sets my home page to MSN. Bastards! How can turn this off? I think I've paid Bill enough over the years to deserve a bit of freedom. Thanks in advance.

    Resetting the homepage is part of the setting override feature of the ThinkVantage Access Connections software. Aside from homepage, it is also able to override TCP/IP, proxy, and other settings. Just go into that utility and disable it there.
