Hello,

Currently looking at the exterior of the ISS on the screen of a Thinkpad in the interior of the ISS - live on NASA TV.

All this being monitored by an astronaut gal with her pony tail sticking straight out.

Yep, that's why I wrote "find the Thinkpads".

There's six Thinkpads and an IBM monitor in the photo.

Now, name the models!
