Well hopefully, if you buy a new laptop it has both the older PCMCIA slot and the newer ExpressCard slot. The T60p does...I made sure of this so I wouldn't be screwed with backward compatibility issues. I had the sales rep confirm this several time...now, will this still have the older PCMCIA slot? :) I'll use the standard slot until gear for the new one is available.
