Hello all TP users out there. I just discovered this list and the
auto-response suggested that I introduce myself and describe my ThinkPad.
So, here goes.
My name is Tim Foreman and I am the Enginering Manager at a plastic
injection mold shop called American Mold & Engineering. I bought my
ThinkPad in October as a sort of early birthday present to myself. (It's
actually a bday, xmas, bday, xmas, bday present. ;-)
My ThinkPad is a 365X with a 133MHz cpu, 1.0 GB Harddrive, 40 MB RAM and
the Dual Scan screen.
I accessorized it right away with an Addonics PocketCD 10X CD-ROM, a Pretek
33.6 Modem card, a ZipDrive Adaptor and a NIC.
The Addonics CD-ROM is a really slick unit that has built-in NiCad
batteries and draws power from the PCMCIA slot. There is no power adapter.
I really like it and would reccomend it.
The modem is pretty nice. It was cheap and almost always connects at 33.6
so I like it.
The Zip drive adapter also has NiCad batteries in it and thus can run the
Zip drive with no power supply. I can reccomend this too.
The NIC is a generic 10 base T card. What can I say? It works.
Over all, I really like my ThinkPad. The only complaint that I have is that
the screen only displays 256 colors, but I can get over that.
I got it used for what I considered a super-deal.
That's all for now. Hope I didn't ramble on too long.
