Reunited with my first real laptop, the ThinkPad 700C at the Lenovo Yamato Lab
Last week I was reunited with my first laptop in my coming of age years. Technically it was not the first. In the late 80’s was tinkering with a white Toshiba laptop with touting the first liquid crystal display at that time, a huge upgrade from my 4-color CGA 386 desktop. I digress.
