[ltp] IBM to sell its PC business

[Meike Reichle]

Hi all

Well I got aquainted with TPs only recently, and everything I own is a 
little X20. But I always loved the Thinkpad's "oldschool" look 
(reliability remains yet to be proven but I got no doubts it won't 
dissapoint me). My only comfort is, that for me there's still a long 
time until I'll run out of thinkpad models (considering that, as a 
student, you can usually not afford them until they are at least ~5 
years old. So there's still years to come until models like the X30 or 
even X40 reach "my world" ;)

Anyway, it's sad. Guess we can only hope they are at least bought by 
some other 'good guys'.

You can? How's that work?
