    I'm hoping someone in the know might be able to give a straight answer to this one...

    I've heard multiple times from different sources that you can call IBM/Lenovo for your Recovery CDs within 30 days of the original purchase to get them shipped for free. However, when I did call them up, they said this practice has been discontinued for the last couple of years and I have to pay $45 if I wanted them...

    Is this true? Anyone actually got their free CDs recently? Or maybe I just happened to talk to a clueless person in support?

    Thanks so much!

    On the newer notebooks you should be able to burn off the recovery discs. The policy has not been in place for a couple years because I got my discs for my T41 last decemeber.
