Re: [Thinkpad] ThinkPads about to jump the shark?

History is littered with tales of displaced peoples. The Chinese have
no corner on that market. The world has moved on, even if you have not.

But, this is way off topic.

To include some Thinkpad content, I went and saw what I could get from

priced or even slightly more expensive.

IBM has better quality and comparable prices. Too bad they suck at
consumer marketing. :(
