Some changes have occurred since I posted the first set of images. Some may have seen the other thread I made for the R50p (that is what it currently identifies as, for now, since it might become a T42p again) specifically. Well, about that R50p, here's what I've done:
Bye bye, stickers! My left thumbnail... it hurts so much, but it had to be done.
Another cool thing, apparently this R50p, or at least the bottom case of it, must have been from a fairly late model machine, because this is what it says on the bottom:

Unless some refurbisher stuck that on themselves....
I also swapped the keyboard with a better condition of the same make, Chicony, which I had just robbed its spacebar of for the Thinkpad I present to the Thinkpad forum gods next:
My lovely T500. As you can see she now proudly wears a Thinkpad badge, which she was missing before as you can see in this rather large picture I took of her in Portsmouth:

She also now has a webcam courtesy of a rather screwed up W500 lid the front bezel of which she now wears, and is also on the receiving end of a mod that's been done by others on the forum, but not yet by me, until now:
Gray Fn, browser, and T4x style Cap Lock keys! And look at that beautiful spacebar next to every other tainted key... yes, look at the spacebar, don't look at the other keys. When I think about it now, I should have kept the mint keyboard for myself from the R500 that I sold, grrrrr, mistakes were made.
I've had the T500 for just over a year now, and it's served me amazingly. I've done video editing, gaming, schoolwork, everything on it. It hasn't failed me in any way. As of today she also now has 6GB of ram. 16:10 WUXGA, dual core x64, DDR3, rock solid construction, a reliable motherboard design, and a classic aesthetic. I can't think of what I want more in a Thinkpad. I love it. Though I still find myself attracted to the 4:3 form factor of the R50p.
Promised Z60mf pictures are next. The thing's still a
mess work of art since I'm feeling optimistic- not, the things an ugly titanium brick, with a design emphasis on forward motion.
