A Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet is my principle computer, on the desktop or on the road, running Ubuntu primarily or Windows if required. A G1 serves as a WWAN modem and as a portable computer on many trips. A Chumby as a home alarm clock, though it may be reitired in favor of the phone.
The Thinkpad went out for depot service early last month, but it took longer to get the backup computer configured for action than it did for Lenovo to handle the service and shipping. I should have just read a few books. -- rec -- On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 12:07 PM, Owen Densmore <o...@backspaces.net> wrote: > On Jan 30, 2010, at 10:56 AM, Owen Densmore wrote: > > In thinking about my "device ecology" in the iPad discussion, I mentioned >> the MacBook air. >> >> Just curious: How many of us have one or have used one?
