Lenovo/IBM laptop battery Recall

my IBM R60 is affected by this recall; just thought some of you might want to check this, too:

Another reason for me to hate Sony: a carpy, cheap company. IBM/Lenovo should change their battery supplier

Many IBMs use Sanyos. My T42 does. IBM also adds some safety features to their battery packs that the Dells of the world do not. Still, anything with a Sony-made cell is now suspect.
