	Well, gee, maybe instead of using the browser you wrote yourself in
Ruby you could revert to firefox just this once?  There's a price to genius, 
you know.

	Complete support for T60 thinkpads is available using this path. It's
so complete that if you have your exact machine type you'll be offered the
exact drivers for your hardware configuration.  If you don't want to navigate
there's an option to download an agent and have it take you directly to the 
correct page.

	www.lenovo.com->support->think-based products->browse products

	Laptops and netbooks->T series laptops->T60->all machine types->all os

	Download drivers and software

	The page is dynamic so a posted link won't work properly (your
previous choices are recorded and used to construct the proper page) but
it's easy to navigate there.  BTW a posted link isn't broken but lacking
the cookies will take you to the default page.

	The maintenance discs are under software update and/or system 
management.  The full recovery discs aren't downloadable (the driver and
utility recovery discs are) but the part numbers are listed in the hardware
manual.  That's under (surprise) the Manuals section.  To get one you call
Lenovo and use a credit card to place an order.

	Now, if you want a vendor that's a real PIA to get drivers from
try finding stuff for old Toughbooks.  "It was hard to build so it should
be hard to maintain!"
