    Hi People

    My beautiful IBM Thinkpad is entering its 14th year of faithful
    service. In all these years I had only change the power batter and the
    CMOS batery a couple of times. Everything else is original. It came
    with a 40 GB HDD and I changed it to a 160 GB one only because I
    needed more space.

    It is my workhorse of the day with its XP SP3 (W7 was too slow when I
    tried). Though I have another latest Lenovo G50 Lappie with W10 I use
    it rarely.

    Kudos to my great IBM Thinkpad

    Have you tried installing a UNIX-like OS on it? It might bring life back
    to that warhorse.
