It’s a ThinkPad!

generalities,  intro.spectacle,  techno.babble

I’d pass out cigars, but I don’t smoke, and I’m not all that keen on enabling that particular habit in others…

I took delivery at 12:50PM Eastern Standard Time, becoming the über-proud and utterly stoked new owner of a ThinkPad T40p. Have a look:

Meet the new ThinkPad… not NEARLY the same as the old ThinkPad

Geek and notebook are doing fine.

Incidentally, the “p” indicates that this is a WORKSTATION-class machine (hence its being fitted with the FireGL GPU, essentially a RADEON 9000 optimized for OpenGL).

I’ve further come to learn that my old i Series machine was actually manufactured by Acer under license from IBM… so apparently, I’ve now graduated to a “true” ThinkPad from what was essentially an Aspire with a great keyboard. Can’t wait to get better acquainted with the new baby. Heh.
