R60
We just got new laptops at work. This model is a ThinkPad R60. It’s not a super fast machine by todays standards, but it’s really very impressive. I’m going through the process of getting all my apps installed and it got me to thinking about exactly how amazing these things are, especially when connected to the internet. Even more so when you do that on a wireless network. Once again I say, things have come a long way since Mr. Gutenberg started moving his type around.
