Re: Dell Latitude E series & docking station eject?

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My ThinkPad and it's docking station have been rock solid for almost 
four years.  The only issue I had with the laptop was generated from 
Redmond, and was easily (well, not so much) fixed with a FDISK and 
reformat of the drive.  Win7 has been very good (regrettably since it 
solidifies Redmonds hold on the desk top) just a bit hard on memory.

I have docked and undocked many times with mine with out a problem, but 
I use the ThinkPad utility to do the docking/undocking.
