It's a Thinkpad, it was so expensive you probably want to encase it in thick foam with silk lining and guarded by a large dog every time you turn it off.
Well, quite the other way round, IMHO: I spend the money for Thinkpads *because* they are stable systems and I do _not_ need to put them into silk lining. They are work horses, and good at it. (Lenovo just should start to produce one 15" variant again without that f"§$%ing wide screen. I don't watch TV or DVDs, I work with that damn ding, and for that I want more screen height!) I've got 6 of them, starting with the Butterfly, aka CS701 -- which is from 1996 -- and still runs(!) -- Linux of course, although an older Slackware distribution, current SUSE is much too large for it. Boys, the pains and struggles to get Linux running on a laptop in 1997, you won't even know about it. We're in heaven right now... Though this is for work. If I would pay these prices for a private laptop, I don't know; I've never bought a laptop privately. :-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
