As a new subscriber to this ThinkPad Mailing List my subscription
comfirmation message asked that I introduce myself and my ThinkPad so here
it is:
I am Dave Howery, a biologist working at Trinity College in Hartford; I live
in Granby Connecticut. I've wanted a laptop since I saw the first Toshibas
in the mid 1980's but my new IBM ThinkPad 701CS is the first notebook
computer I've owned. I confess; I am infatuated with the 701. I "fell in
love" the first time I saw that full sized keyboard fold out of its
miniature case. I may even have to name it and I've never named a computer
in the 15 years I've been using them.
I just bought my 701CS so it is pure stock at this time; DX4/75, 720 MB HD,
8 MB RAM running OS/2 Warp 3. I intend to add a 32 MB RAM chip soon so I
can upgrade the operating system to Warp 4. The 701 has a built-in 14.4
modem but since the IBM Home and Away PCMCIA Modem/Ethernet adapter is so
inexpensive now ($39.95) I am planning to pick one up so I can connect to
both my home desktop machine and the network at Trinity College.
I've read the FAQ but I suspect I'll ask some dumb questions as I learn my
way around the 701 and mobile computing.
Best Wishes,
Dave
