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.
