It's much easier and cheaper to adapt a USB3 controller than to  
replace an entire PC.

Besides.. the laptop *is* basically my "desktop" computer. I  
don't need to change that aspect. It's parked at my desk  
somewhat permanently. I've adapted to it. I like the all-in-one  
ergonomics. And the keyboard of the T60 is superb to work with.

Meanwhile, I found what I think will work. $25, shipped.

It might not provide the screaming 10x speed of USB2.  But I've  
been reading that 3x is the norm.  That's still pretty good for  
my purposes.

I still think a USB3 adaptor that would work on the higher  
capacity Gigabit Ethernet port would be more practical for me.
