She was not what you would call refined,
She was not what you would call unrefined,
She was the type of person who kept a parrot.

Haven't seen the movie but great to know thinkpads also getting casted in movies now, especially after seeing apples flashing everywhere.
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.

I saw one in Friends recently (I guess season 7 or 8, around mi-season).
It looked like a T2x / T3x but the IBM logo was covered with black cellotape :(
T43 2668-92G (upgraded to 1GB RAM) (don't have it anymore)
X60 1709-H6U (upgraded to 2GB RAM)

Loved Blood Diamond Bill, and yes I saw that scene. I yelled to my husband, "She is using a Thinkpad!!" He didn't get it :??:
