Someone here had a link to a site which gave an IBM employees number
that could be used for a discount. I seem to have lost this link and
now I find myself needing a Thinkpad rather quickly. Anyone remember
this link?

Correct me if I am wrong, but: Wouldn't it be illegal to use such an
number if you are not an IBM employee?

You are incorrect. They have or had a friends of IBM program where
friends of employees could obtain this discount. Don't know if it
still exists but it certainly did at one time.

Wonderful, so just ask your friend then. :-)

Do you actually *know* patrick web, or did you merely send him an
email purporting to be his friend to extract his employee number?

Just to interject: I have a friend that allowed me to shop IBM on
their employee discount, but ended up getting a much better price by
shopping around.

For instance, a year ago the A31p that I wanted was well over $2000
(if memory serves) at IBM employee discount, and I bought it for $1700
at USaveGelt.com in New York (last time I looked they didn't have
them). I got an external floppy drive for about $25 less than IBM's
discount price at another place (forget where... old age).
