Extras

So, things seem to be working well.  The T60 ran for ages on the new battery.  Took me forever to run the thing down for a complete discharge.  It's happily charging away right now.  I'm very, very pleased with it.

Currently running the R40 because...well, because.  However, I've been playing with a new toy.  One that lives up to the very core values of this blog.

A new toy
Yeah, it is...  It's a disembodied Thinkpad keyboard.  It's a standard USB keyboard, complete with the "Trackpoint" pointing device, and pretty much all the buttons you expect from such a keyboard.  (The only thing lacking is ThinkLight hotkey.)

Now, why in the name of sense do I have one of these.  Well, to be honest...  I haven't got a clue.  It was a complete impulse buy.  I ran across a video on YouTube featuring one, was intrigued, and...  One thing lead to another, a bit of research was done, and a cheap price was found.  And, voila!

It is kind of nice for the decadent side of me.  I can prop my laptop up on the bed, and then connect this keyboard and work away without having to have the heavy, rather warm piece of tech sitting in my lap.  Very ergonomic.  My back will thank me for this during those marathon sessions of late night web browsing.

My bank account, however, will have another opinion...
