Have new laptop.  Well new to me.  It's a IBM/Lenovo (not sure actually who made it) T42 I picked up on eBay.  Considering the sad and sorry state my current T22 has descended to I'm very happy so far.  Not that I blame the old comp., it is almost 7 years old, the fact that it's still running at all is a tribute to IBM's build quality.

But my new computer has about a 85% faster processor, 4X the RAM (256mb to 1gb), and a modern OS (XP sp3).  Plus, the battery isn't completely shot, so I can actually move around again.

Very very happy so far, now I just have to get all the software I want installed.  First thing is already done.  I'm posting this via Chrome.
