Hi all,
I probably have one of the oldest Thinkpads around. No problems with
battery life, either: no batteries.
It is a 2.5"x4"(approx) leather-bound notepad, with white paper sheets.
The leather is black and is embossed on the front with "Think" and
an the back with "IBM", both in gold. It came with a gold colored pencil
for input (both for word processing and graphics input), and you
automatically got paper output!

ps: I'm not quite sure how old it is, though. It's a family heirloom ;)
