As long as it's not one of their R series notebooks, it's pretty cool 👍

If you want to know why I dislike the R series, it's because mine had it's motherboard replaced twice, the battery has been swapped out and the hdd has been replaced, and it has far too many almost faded pixels - all in 1.5 years. I'm using a loaner r40 from my school right now since mine is being repaired... the left channel of it's soudn card works only 50% of the time.

Nice. I am pushing mine to its limit running like 5+ programs at once just for the hell of it but havent lately. It still runs very nice and smooth. BTW Skip has one as well (same model as mine) and he just repainted his. I am gonna ask him what he uses since I forgot and then repaint mine maybe and get some pics.

Is it just me, or do most thinkpads from the last 5 years all look remakably similar?
Then again, i shouldn't be complaining. My toshiba hit 60 degrees celcius yesterday.

I have a T20, 20 gig hard drive, 700 Mhz and 384 MB ram (upgraded from 128 MB) with 8M S3 Virge video running XP.

And I didn't repaint it, I just washed it with acetone then used a STP brand platsic rejuvenator designed for car dashboards (its called "Son of a Gun"). Worked wonders. It looks brand new.

Thats the stuff. Used the Microsoft BootVis boot optimizer, tweaked the registry a bit, and disabled performance logging. It runs quite nicely, and I can get my favorite Unix programs using Cygwin.
