A true zen saying. For approx. 23 hours i am owner of a 770 Thinkpad, Model 9549. The layout of trackpoint, mousebuttons, keyboard seem to be near to perfect for me - so far. Thanks to all the answers from the list, you made my decision: - 14.1 display - 160M RAM - 3(!) harddisks (1.08M, 5.1M and 8.1M) (8.1 has complete, unspoiled install of w98 with all devices working) - Floppy - CDROM - 2(!) mains adapters - cute, black little mouse - modem cable, PS2-splitter adapter, more cables... - all the documents ever provided (in german language, including win95 license) - amounts of CDroms and Floppies with drivers and stuff - battery that lasts for hours (sigh...) - huge leather bag ("IBM" written on every zipper) - price: reasonable - bargain I like it! Freebsd is running fine already on 5.1M disk, except sound. ;) > Do You Yahoo!? No, should I?
