Re: [Thinkpad] IBM 701 BUTTERFLY THINKPAD

Good Catch !

Yeah but has either had enough clout to make it in a museum for it's unique
design ? Besides, there's a big difference between comparing a 486 75 MHz
machine to both the A30 & X30 Pentium III class systems, not to mention,
we're talking about what.......6 years after the fact ~ hmmm..... oh, and of
course
the difference between them is the 701 "IS" a sub notebook ~ so I take it
back,
"Name any other "sub notebook" in the entire world that won any awards"

I don't know, but if you ask me, the 701 will always rule ! Don't get me
wrong, the A30 & X30 are FANTASTIC machines ~ but comparing them to the
classic ButterFly is like comparing apples to oranges ~

My bad, I should of done a little more research before making the
comment "Anyone name at least one other" ~ lol ~

Ok, I'll settle for this ~ Think Pad's will always rule !!!
