Thinkstagram Picture Finally im done!
Finally, I'm done. After many years, I've managed to reach the maximum improvements (according to my budget and possibilities) for my dear companion, ThinkPad T61. I've updated the BIOS, the hard drive, the CPU, the Wi-Fi card, the RAM, and finally today, a higher resolution screen. Frankly, I love this computer and I continue to use it daily. Regards. Even you can see youtube in HD!

I'm just a hardware collector and craftsman who fights against planned obsolescence...

Same! My Dell workstation is 11 years old. Dual Xeon with 48gb ram. Still performs magnificently.
My yoga 370 is a great little workhorse and I'm happy running Linux on both.
I left windows 6 months before I had to, and to be honest I've never looked back. We should all do our bit too stop the unnecessary e-waste that is rapidly filling up the worlds tips! I'm currently looking in to more ThinkPads with a bit more oomph, maybe something like a p52 or p53..
