    You could try a distributer like CDW but for the most part they are gone.

    You could look at the SL500, T500, and W500 as replacements depending on whether you want a more comsumer, low-end, or high-end replacement respectivly.

    They won't be making anymore because it's an old model. New models (W500, W700) are replacing it.

    I believe Lenovo doesn't sell them anymore, only the T61. The T61's were replaced by the new Thinkpad series (W500) because of Intel's new chipset. New chipset = laptop series refresh. The new Thinkpads feature Montevina Processor, new WiFi, new integrated graphics and so on. Also, Lenovo offers newer video card options for the new series.

    I'd say more or less, 1 month ago. The whole Thinkpad refresh was only a month ago.

    You can try Euclid Computers or ProVantage. I did a review of Euclid, maybe that'll interest you.

    Try Ebay, ibmoutlet is a very popular Thinkpad seller. You'll probably will get a good deal without worrying about the scam.
