    Just curious if there's a way that I can check my total uptime. I'm wondering how many hours I logged on my Thinkpad now that its almost 1 year old.

    You might be able to look at the event log in Windows and try to figure it out, but obviously that is going to be a painful process.

    Closest that comes to mind to to use a utility to read the SMART status of your TP's hard drive, look for power on hours. Of course, if you've replaced your hard drive... ;)
