Replacing a Thinkpad?

Posted by kdawson on from the swimming-against-the-race-to-the-bottom dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As a very happy Thinkpad T20 user (still working after 7 years), I always planned on replacing it with another Thinkpad T-series. However, Thinkpads are now produced by Lenovo, a Chinese company, and I can't quite bear to buy Chinese while the Burmese military are shooting at monks with the Chinese Government as their biggest backer. Maybe this is silly, as whatever I buy is likely to be made (at least in part) in China... but still, what are my options for something as well built as the Thinkpad T-series?"

    This is totally off-topic, but I really want to hear this, but I don't run Windows at work. Can anyone tell me how to listen to these streams on Linux? Does "Real Alternative" work for Linux in Firefox?
