also, sometimes GPU crashes and displays weird mouse rectangle when shutdown pressing power button for some seconds (cold start?). great laptop though!
The XT was the first computer I remember having (well, technically it was my family's computer). I remember playing all sorts of random games on this thing, and even learning to program in BASIC. Plus, that keyboard was epic. Based on this post I saw today about "How I met your Motherboard": http://news.gdgt.com/2010/04/29/httpandrewsullivan...
It was the PS/2 Model 30... I was pretty young and DOS was mysterious to me until a neighbor came over and gave me a couple of half-hour lessons. At first I thought I needed to "install" a game every single time before I could play it. Lots of Hoyle, followed by Police Quest, Space Quest, King's Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry, which at my age felt like I was getting away with reading a copy of Playboy.

have any of you put seven on her? wondering how it is going to like seven, wonder if lenovo will release a driver pack which will work well with the x41....

Lately, I am a little obsessed with finding a "clicky" style keyboard, Something that gives me good feedback (physical and audible) while typing. I never really knew what they were called but I guess they are called mechanical keyboards. Well since I didn't even know what they are called then I guess it's pretty obvious that I would not know which are the best ones. Anyone have any recommendations?
So I've got this ThinkPad X23 but I cannot get it to boot. It will get to the XP boot screen then flash a BSoD for a millisecond then crash out of that and start the cycle all over again. I tried to boot off of a USB drive and that would fail as well. Any thoughts?
