[ltp] how to start with thinkpad T60?

[Mario Butter]

Since the difference between degrees F if roughly half that between
degrees C, you can get nearly twice as many whole units using degrees
F. And measurement is always done one unit past the scale of the
measuring device, so if your scale is marked in tenths, you measure in
hundredths, with the last digit being an approximation (unless it's a
digital device).
