A certain very special ThinkPad came up on FB marketplace today and I just had to get it. The 701 with the butterfly keyboard has been on my "must have" list since forever!

@mc It didn't come with a power adapter... I'll have to improvise one to see if it will power up. Fingers crossed!

@polpo I was telephone tech support on those for a bit! Great little machine. They were a tad dated by the time I came on but I really wanted one anyway

@polpo @ancient_catbus what a machine. I compiled my first Linux kernel on one of those!
