Worried about T61 Shipping... Share your US Experiences?

I've been reading the other thread about the T61 shipping and am definitely NOT pleased with other people's experience. It must be a pain to go through, sorry for those that went through it.
I just wanted other experiences, as far as those who live in the US. I live in the northeast US, specifically New York. I'm worried that I'm going to end up with a 3-5 week wait time from the day I order my laptop to the day I actually receive it. As of now, I'm all set to order through my company (for the corporate discount), and can't wait to use the laptop. However, I'm having second doubts on whether or not I should get a T61 because of the excessive wait. Since I'll be ordering through my company, do you think Lenovo CSR's will give me priority? I don't know whether or not this will help, and I doubt it - but I was just curious.
Are there any other fellow US T61 owners who ordered through Lenovo recently? Can you please share you experiences, whether it is good or bad? I'd like to hear them both.
I most likely will get a system with the following specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, 2.4 GHz, 3MBL2
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic
14.1" WXGA+ TFT
nVIDIA Quado NVS 140M
1GB (1 DIMM)
UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad) with Fingerprint Reader
120GB HD, 5400 RPM
CDRW/DVD-ROM Combo (no DVDRW)
Thinkpad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe
Integrated Bluetooth PAN
6 cell Li-on Battery

I purchased a customized thinkpad t61p on June 7 and the computer shipped on June 12 by express mail (I payed for ground shipping so that was a nice surprise). I received it two days later on June 14 in the morning. Extremely fast build and ship time so I am very happy. By the way I live in Raleigh, NC.
T61p: C2D T9300, NVidia Quadro 570M, 15.4" WXSGA+, 100GB 7200rpm HDD, 1GB RAM, Windows XP Pro

Firefox starts with old tabs and windows I had visited ages ago, not a new blank window. It is opening up a tab containing a credit card transaction I had completed last week, so I am worried about the security risks your browser is posing right now.

Few times a week, ff opens after boot with random tabs from history open. But today it kept opening the same set of windows (not tabs) from random points of time from history. It stopped after I closed 4 of them and browsed a bit with the last and closed it with tabs open. Then it resumed opening the previously saved tabs. The usual situation with tabs occurs generally after I close firefox with no tabs and no websites loaded and I shut down the computer.
I do have a large amount of history, I generally clear only sensitive sites from history by searching and clicking forget this site.

Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning.

Appreciated if someone can share your good data modeling tips/experience!

Note: we don't want to read SAP Help links and we are tired of reading and understand SAP Help links, just share your own experience of good data modeling tips to improve the data load and query performance.
We will give reward points and thanks in advance!

One more (no giving away any more golden eggs)..
Remember that BW validation is referential integrity and that R/3 is dynpro integrity
Remember this when using compound info objects (ever wondered why some info obejcts that you would consider absolutely essential are not in content cubes..)
Think about the following scenario..
Does R/3 let you save a billing document without passing it through accounting?
Can that process fail?
Can it fail because the customer doesn't exist in Accounting?
Now imagine you have put 0CUST_COMPC (Customer company code) into your Sales Info cube - and have validation switched ON for SID checking
As soon as that SD billing document comes down the line - infopackage failure
Next scenario..
Can you save a purchase order with a blank material..?
Then fancy putting 0MAT_PLANT on your purchasing cube?
Even with validation switched off you are going to have a SID failure on upload (Plant filled - material initial - SID doesn't exist and never will do)

Please share your PDF/UA-compliance experiences

I encourage others to share your experiences in remediating PDFs for ISO 14289 (PDF/UA) compliance. Let’s learn from each other’s experiences.
I am working with documents that previously passed the Acrobat checker and PAC 1.3 along with manual checks for WCAG 2.0 compliance – so, the documents were as accessible as I knew how to make them. Below are the errors that I am seeing quite a bit from the new PAC2 PDF/UA-compliance checker. The “fix” is not necessarily the best, just what I have found that seems to work. I am using Acrobat Pro XI.
error: Font not embedded
fix: Tools > Print Production > Preflight > PDF fixups > Embed fonts
comment: This does not always work as some font licenses do not allow embedding. If you encounter non-embeddable fonts hopefully you have the source document and can use a different font.
error: Tagged content present inside an Artifact
fix: Open the Content pane. Open Artifact containers to find any content containers hiding inside. Drag the content containers to their proper place outside the Artifact container.
error: Alternative description missing for an annotation
fix: Add alt text to link tags.
comment: This seems an odd error. Some links benefit from alt text but others are perfectly clear without it. Seems like this should be a judgment call, but the Matterhorn Protocol insists on links having alt text.
error: Figure element on a single page with no bounding box.
fix: This error goes away if I tag the figure as an artifact, which makes sense. But if I then retag it as a figure and add back in the alt text, the error stays away.
comment: Seems odd. Even the Matterhorn Protocol PDF (http://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MatterhornProtocol_1-0.pdf) fails PAC2 on this point! This could be a rough spot in the PAC2 beta, not a real error, but is easy enough to “fix”.
error: DisplayDocTitle key is not set to true
fix: File > Properties > Initial View tab > In the Show drop down box, select “Document Title”
error: PDF/UA identifier missing
fix: Create an xmp file that includes the required snippet of metadata (example: http://bygosh.com/files/pdfuaid.xmp). Then: File > Properties > Description tab > Additional Metadata... > Advanced > Append
comment: This should be the final remediation step, after the document is otherwise PDF/UA-compliant. To apply the PDF/UA ID to a document that is not compliant would be fibbing.

Hi Wendy,
The requirement that all links include alternate text in the Contents key is frustrating ...
To the best of my knowledge, no current AT makes use of the Contents key alt text
No current tool makes it easy to create and configure the Contents key. To do so manually with a long set of links such as a table of contents is time consuming.
In a well-written document, link text is often quite clear in context, and alt text provides no benefit in terms of accessibility. This is almost certainly the case with a table of contents.
So, you have to make a choice. You can ...
Ignore this particular PDF/UA criterion and somehow live with the resulting scolding from PAC2.
Apply regular alt text to the links. This makes PAC2 happy but PAC 1.3 unhappy.
Patiently wait for the opportunity to shell out big bucks for a new tool that automates setting the link Contents key, like the "coming soon" PDF Global Access (new version of CommonLook with a new name) from NetCentric.
Bite the bullet and set the Contents key for each link tag manually. It is a bit intimidating at first to delve into the innards of the tag structure and make changes, but you will quickly gain experience and comfort level. This is the best solution if you, like me, obsess with making both PAC2 and PAC 1.3 say "Pass". Just be sure, as always when working with Acrobat, to save early and often to a new file name, in case something goes horribly wrong.
If you choose the last bullet, the PDF/UA Reference Suite includes example TOCs. As to what should be entered for "Value", for external links I typically use the title of the target page. For TOC entries, following the examples in the PDF Reference Suite, the Contents key value mirrors the text of the link, for example "Chapter 1: Introduction".
Hope this helps.

Can you please share your experience in implementing / upgrading the Primavera EPPM R8.3?

Hi,
In our company various versions (V7, R8.1 and R8.3) of Primavera being used in various locations. To bring all the location to a common platform, management has decided to implement / upgrade Primavera EPPM P6 R8.3 and also planned to integrate Primavera P6 R8.3 EPPM with Oracle (EBS) Projects application . Hence, If any of you implemented Primavera P6 EPPM R8.3 or upgraded the earlier versions to Primavera P6 R8.3. Please share your ideas and also the pros and cons of implementing R 8.3 EPPM. For your information we are going to have SQL database since all the existing databases are in SQL.
Please share your ideas and experiences.

Hi,
we have done a lot of implementations and migrations to the P6 EPPM R8.3 from different former versions and this is working fine. the dbsetup does a good job.
A good way in my point of view is to set up a new P6 EPPM R8.3 system with a new PMDB Instance which will keep the configurations so that you easily can migrate or exchange the instances. Always remind to have a validated backup of any instance before migrating.
Before migration you should mind the following points:
The source version of the old P6 PMDB instance is:
P6.2.1 or before => first you need to migrate it to P6 V7.0 before you can migrate it to P6 R8.3
P6 V7.0 => check if you have used P6 WebAccess: if not okay, else check if you used jackrabbit (look for migration tool), Workflows (close all before migrating); Check if using Jobservice XER-Export (no longer available); Jobservice Batchreport (only Workaround available see Knowledgebase); Risks in the P6 Client (need to be manually migrated)
P6 R8.0 to R8.2 => Using Extended Schema, Enterprise Reporting Database, own BI Publisher Reports => Check stept to be taken for migration
Other questions are:
Which authentication method will you use (native, LDAP, SSO)? If not using native and you want to connect the BI Publisher then you need also to use that authentication there.
The migration itself is pretty easy if you take care that all sessions are closed (no users or unclosed primavera sessions settings on that instance, stop all Applications, interfaces or Services connected to the instance. Cleanup your refrdel_deletes, logical_deletes and (if used before), extended Schema tables.
Then you can migrate with dbsetup, use additional Service Packs and Fixpacks (actually Service Pack 1) on the instances and then you can connect them into the environment by adding it to the P6 Configuration.
I mentioned you don't want to put all data into one final PMDB-Instance.

Daniel

Running executable on clients,Share your experience

I have installed Oracle 9i AS on application server environment and deployed my forms and big application on this env.
Now I tried to run my reports (created as executable files) and they opened at the server and hangs the client till I close the exe. on the server.
Any body knows how can I deal with the client to run executable or share your experience.
Many Thanks
Adel Yousef

I've done some evaluation of Forms and Reports 6i. Of the two, Reports seems to have most of the problems, but that is another discussion. From my notes I can recall:
Forms layout: If you delete a frame, all prompts dissapear. Reappear
when you close and open layout again.
Forms generic: Readme says 6i is patch compatible with 6.0. If you modify a form with a static record group in 6.0.8 it works ok. If you then recompile with 6.0.5 all static record group values are gone!
The bug where you may not get the property palette by pressing F4
before other windows have been activated still exists.
It appears that the (layout) window has focus, and from GUI point
I think it does, but cant receive events.
This behaivour can something be noticed in runtime also.
I don't think it is a problem with Windows as no other application
has this behaviour.
The issue of existing state of package
still exists, must try it with sql+
If you change a stored procedure in a way
that its signature doesnt change, forms
runtime still complains the first time
you call the procedure. The second time
it works ok. Strange.
Could not generate form with Ctrl+T. Tried Sh+Ctrl+K but got
PDE-PER001 Internal error (depep 2).
Tried again, worked.
Runtime: Why are all my prompts with background=white?

Sony ignoring issues of flagship phone owners - share your experience

Please share your understanding and experiences on Picking Request Output.

Hi,
Have you ever involved in any project which related to the 'Picking Request' Output IDOC.
Normally it is triggered from Delivery output and corresponding picking data will be sent...
Please share your understanding on how to trigger this kind of Picking request ouput from delivery processing.
For example, you are the person is assigned to explore an existing SAP-system. Your task is to simulate an order cycle and most important points is to trigger the 'Picking request' Output IDOC in delivery order. But you dont know what Sales order type,Dlv type is used. The only thing you knew is the picking request output type is ZXXX from delivery header output.
How do you find out corresponding sales order type/Dlv order type/Billing order type according to an output type name ZXXX.
First, i will share my ideas:
Through ZXXX we could get corresponding condition records, as there contain some info like dlv type/sales order type..kinds of combinations..Follow that, i will find already proceessed sales documents. Then refer those document to do the re-creation.
Please kindly let me know your ideas.
Thanks!

Hi there,
Define a new O/p type. Select EDI in Transmission in Default values of O/p type for external system. Select ALE for internal system.
Assign an access sequence to that.
Maintain the determiantion procedure. In the requirement routine, put a condition that it should trigger only after picking / packing is done.
Assign the O/p to the delivery type.
In WE20, define a new partner to whom you want to send the IDOC. Give the required details.
Define a new IDOC processing prog & assign that to the process code of the IDOC in the partner profiles.
So whenever you do picking, the Op type will be trigered which will be processed by the IDOC prog & send it to the external system.
Regards,
Sivanand

Getting worried about recent Macbook core 2 duo purchase

I'm looking online, and it seems like there's a TON of defects to be found in the new 13 inch macbooks. I just bought a new Core 2 Duo Macbook in Black a few days ago, and I'm beginning to get worried about my purchase. Have they fixed the majority of the defects with the release of the core 2 duo versions? Or do you think it would be wiser to return it and wait till they release the next macbook? I haven't had any issues with mine yet...but considering the amount of bad press the new macbooks have been getting, i'm begining to think it might be wise to return it while i still can. Any thoughts?

Well ask yourself this question: Do you have any of these problems with your MB?. As has been pointed out, this is a forum for those who do have problems. It is unwise to use the forums to "hunt" for things to worry about. Here is the thing: certain computers may be prone to certain issues, of that there is no doubt. But, that does not mean that every one of those computers has that particular problem. It just means that the few that do have problems are more likely to experience that particular problem. If you look at the total number of complaints about a particular "issue" and compare that to the number of machines sold, you will see that it is a very small percentage. I just bought my daughter a new MB to replace her aging G3 iBook and I have to say that the overall build quality is vastly better. The "feel" is much more solid, keyboard is much nicer, screen blows away the "old" iBook and, needless to say, it's waaaaay faster. So the bottom line is: If your computer is working as it should, why can't you not simply enjoy it and stop worrying about problems you don't have.
PS No insult intended but I would guess that at least 90% of the problems posted on this forum are the result of user error, conflicts with 3rd party hardware, software or drivers or a simple lack of knowledge about either the hardware or the OS.

Zen micro freezes: share your experie

Please share your experience with Zen Micro's hard disk problems with me.
Unfortunately the beatiful zen micro i bought almost two years ago, is in a state of coma. It froze up and no option on the recovery mode could change that state.
I know that a lot of you guys had/have the same problem, given the amount of help-threads.
I sent the player to the shop since we have a two-years-warranty in Germany. The shop kept the player and refuses to exchange/repair my player.
So I am about to contact a lawyer to sue the shop.
Any evidence to support my case ? your experience with the freezing micro ? will back up my case.
Thanks in advance!

Issue appears to be resolved. The following is the instruction set sent by Creative Labs that I followed:
. Ensure that the player is turned off.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Move and hold the Power button to the Power On position and re-insert
the battery to the Zen Micro. Hold the Power button until the rescue
mode appears.
4. After 2-3 seconds the rescue menu will be displayed.
At this point the battery can safely be replaced and maintenance options
performed.
5. Four options will be displayed on the LCD screen:
? Clean Up - (To rearrange your stored data)
? Format All - (To format and remove all data)
? Reload Firmware - (Reloads your player's operating system - Do not
choose this option unless you have downloaded a firmware update from the
Creative website)
? Reboot - (Restarts your Player)
6. Select the Clean Up and then the Reboot option.
Now, please try turning off the player.

Worried about need to constantly repair disk permissions

Here is my analysis and conclusions as to why I need to constantly repair disk permissions:
I recently got the top-o'-the-line iMac (see info below) which shipped with Lion but since I wanted Snow Leopard (just because I have a few PowerPC games that I can't live without) I reformatted the hard drive - into 1 partition from the 2 that Lion had - and installed Snow Leopard and went back to business as usual....only with one **** great and fast computer. BTW, as far as I know this computer is exactly the same computer that shipped with Snow Leopard prior to Lion's introduction. I swore that I would never get another desktop computer because this one would last me forever. My only hesitation now is because the need to constantly repair permissions means something is not right. On the one hand I could just keep on repairing (daily?) the permissions for the next 20 years, or.... what? Is it possible (or should I be asking Apple itself instead of in this forum) that there is some other difference between the Snow Leopard and the Lion versions of this iMac - is this what "firmware" is all about? - that produces this constant need to repair permissions? If that's the case, would Apple give me a Snow Leopard-friendly logic board (and/or install the correct firmware) in exchange for the Lion logic board - or am I just going to have to live with having to perform this permissions-update function? Or is having to repair disk permissions not a big deal or something worrying about? Any ideas would be appreciated - thanks!

I'm really worried about the security of my information. I have just turned on and tried to set up my new Iphone5. It keeps asking for my ex partners login details? She has never had access to my account??

I really dont understand how this works ....? Is this not a helpline??

No, this is community forums.
Did you and your ex ever share an iCloud account or Apple ID?
When is it asking for the info?
Did you plug your phone into your computer to sync with iTunes? If so, it's nothing to worry about probably, it's probably trying to grab and app or something from your iTunes library from her account.

Worried about updating to 10.4.9

I have upgraded to FCS 2 and it needs QT 7.1.6 to run which need s 10.4.9 I have been reading bad things about the os x update and I am worried that it will conflict with my logic pro and all my external plugins and all my external instruments, ( I have lots ) and the thought of my system going down is a nightmare. I will do a clone just incase.

10.4.9 is generally fine. It's 10.4.10 that I'd be worried about intsalling.
Just make sure you have a bootable cloned backup of your current system that you can fall back to in the event you experience trouble with the update.
Also, make sure you read this before updating:
