Re: [Thinkpad] IBM 701 BUTTERFLY THINKPAD

ENOUGH ALREADY
The X series has a 12 inch LCD, it is QUITE SMALL, and while I respect the
fact that you are a fan of the 701 series, it is DEAD, GONE, BURIED.
ANCIENT, not capable of anything anymore.
AND
The one that I had was horribly made, sharp edges, hard to access the ports,
silly covers that were hard to use and fell off.
Enough of this!
