Laptop Dance

My computer wizard, Eric Rodarte of DarteData, tells me that my IBM ThinkPad - which I dearly love - may be in need of a replacement.

Forgive me while I wipe a tear.

The ThinkPad is a great machine; sturdy and dependable plus I like the design. I once tried a Dell computer and found that the keyboard just wasn't right for me. My computer must be tough enough to survive a typist who pounds the keys as if meeting a tight deadline on a Smith-Corona shortly before the last race at Belmont. As a result, I'll probably get another ThinkPad. If it works, it works.

But I'm still hoping the old computer can be salvaged.

Non sequitur here...(another toy)

What do you know about the Blade MQX?
I watched a couple of You Tube videos and now I want one.

You continue to destroy my illusions. Here, I saw you writing laboriously in a Moleskine notebook, with a quill pen and ink well, and passing the pages to a scribe, who dutifully typed them in an ancient computer, with a floppy disk drive. I would be happy to assist you in a search for a new computer, Michael. However, my consulting fee might be a little steep.
