    You could have ended the sentence there! It's just another dull, overpriced IBM laptop.

    Well, I've often felt like this boring black box fixation was not the most sensitive design strategy from the customers' perspectives. IBM's engineering has always been solid enough inside the box--but that's not what the customers see first. I think the black-box approach also made customers doubt IBM's attentiveness to the customers' other interests. I'm hoping that means we'll be seeing a range of more interesting ThinkPads now. They've also recently announced a widescreen model.

    (Disclaimer: I'm in the IBM food chain, and most of my machines are IBM's, either NetVista or ThinkPad.)

    Guess your local employees in the UK are a bit stupid or lazy. Well, that was one of the reasons for the mass lay-offs in Europe. Just not enough work for the euro I hear.
