For a while there, they had been replaced by "Mouse Pad Computer Services" or something like that.

What the fsck was going on?

I saw that as well - I thought the domain had been hijacked or something.

That's what I thought, too, until I checked the regular thinkpads.com, and it was still up.

I suspect that someone found yet another phpBB security flaw, and hijacked the *SITE*. Either that, or a major SNAFU from Bill's hosting provider.
