Stopped for a minute to capture my Personal Computering Journey up to my most recent purchase.

It seems the issue I'm seeing is when you have the default "emerald" theme on widescreen (or maybe external) display. It shows up correctly on a tiny 4:3 display

@SvenDowideit Ah yeah! This #x62 wholly works. I've mulled on updating the display from the 1024x768 original... but it's endearing. I got a battery that gets 7-8hrs. I take this one everywhere.
I've thought about the the x2100. Sounds like Jacky at #51nb #lcdfans has more in stock currently ;-)

it seems like a portable #e-ink that can double as writing tablet, reader, and USB-C display isn't technically impossible. I'll pay the premium that "eating our own product lines" fear instills in executives -- I don't want your $1200 23" e-ink display and I don't want speakers and a thumbprint on the tablet-only (android store hacks to cast the screen notwithstanding) $499 10.3"

seriously wondering if I can shove an e-ink in the #thinkpad #x62 carcasses I have in a basement.

@thegibson where my choice machine is my personal monster on the left. Originally an #x61 #x62 #Thinkpad, but is 10yr mod work of 💙

@RL_Dane @array @benjaminhollon I have a #system76 lemur pro, and still prefer a #thinkpad. All day. Every day. My favorite is my #x61 #x62 frankenstein

Travelled this week to #kubecon with my #x61 (#x62) #thinkpad Frankenstein.
I've done other small trips, but this was a lot more situations.
This is my favorite machine. It is such a comfortable piece of trash. Parts of this machine are 15yrs old, but then cobbled together from various broken machines. Then in the past couple years, I got the drop-in modded board from #lcdfans #51nb out of China. Now a 32Gb with nvme drives, it is a total sleeper. Luckily found a decent battery. avg 7-8hrs.

I have enjoyed my time with the x62, but it's time for an x395.

I have an extra 3rd gen i5 x62 and this 4th gen i7 x62 board, plus two original AFFS 4:3 screens -- but only one x61 housing!

anyway, if you are interested, I am EU based and looking to get them out of my apartment.
