I'm not sure I'd trust a ThinkPad to serve reliably as a doorstop - at least not
without the latest service pack. <sigh> Having said that, the X61 I was issued by
my employer is a reasonably useful machine (after I purged it of Vista).
But my personal laptop is a PowerBook G4. :-p -- Ian
Maybe if
you didn't spend so much on your macs, you'd have money. :)
Smartass. ;)
But no, sorry, not true. These machines don't need replaced every six months, so they're far
more economical than PC
garbage. ;)
I still use my thinkpad Pentium 233 (yes!) everyday, running
windows
2000 and doing embbedded programming on it, running office, etc.
(of course, I'm open to offers of newer thinkpads, maybe someone
has a
spare lying as a doorstopper, who knows? :D)
