Sorry for my lack of recent posts, but life has been busy (I hope future posts will discuss what I've been up to). I had to get on here to acknowledge the 23rd birthday of the Thinkie! It's hard to imagine that if the ThinkPad were a person, he would likely be in grad school right now (at MIT or Harvard...or maybe he'd be a rebel and eschew traditional schooling). Even stranger is that since his birth, he's been through Bush years, Clinton years, more Bush years, and modern Obama times. He's witnessed the rise of the Internet, the transition from VHS to DVD to streaming content! You get the picture...a lot has changed in two decades, but one thing hasn't: The ThinkPad is still among the most reliable, comfortable laptops on the market.
I've been using a ThinkPad for seven of those fine years, beginning with a ThinkPad 560--since, I've owned too many to count. A few notable examples include my T400, T420s, X40, TransNote, and Z60--save for batteries unable to hold a charge, none have failed me yet. I look forward to many more years with my black box! If you're curious about my laptop that started it all, here's a little essay I wrote in 2008. http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/one-mans-trash-is-another-mans-treasure
