It's there to ward against the day you drop your laptop, or I suppose the

the head should be parked and because of that, most likely even if the
laptop is destroyed the drive will still work in some other laptop or in a
usb drive enclosure so you don't lose any data. (unless the mugger wasn't
fazed and ran off with your laptop.)
I don't know if there is a linux answer for the feature (perhaps an acpi
event ?)
Nice to know. Thanks a lot. Well the laptop will be probably the last thing
I'd like to bash over the head of the mugger ;-)
It's a Thinkpad, you can probably hammer nails with it.
Then again...
It's a Thinkpad, it was so expensive you probably want to encase it in thick foam with silk lining and guarded by a large dog every time you turn it off.
I know I always lay the little microfiber cloth that came with my Vaio TZ over the keys before closing the lid.
Which I never bothered to do before, despite the fact that that last/extra 5% of convenience was the main reason I even paid so much for this particular machine instead of getting a Dell m1330. (that and the fact that I could go to the store and play with a TZ but I couldn't find an m1330 anywhere) wow I went from OT to OOT.
If I could somehow work in something about web comics it could be OT, OOT, OOTS!
