Sent a couple R32s on their way...

[lparsons]

I realized that I hadn't updated my signature in a while here, I am no longer with my R32s:

R32 - 2658-A7U: P4m 1.6Ghz, 2GB/250GB, XPP / FBSD 7.2 - 7+ years old and still ticking
R32 - 2658-BXU: P4m 1.5Ghz, 128MB/80GB, XPP; mostly for parts

That said, I do again have two thinkpads in the stable, and for the first time they are of two different lines. I recently picked up an X201 from ebay that had a very pleasant surprise in it by way of a 300gb sdd (instead of the 120gb they listed it with). The R32s found new homes via craigslist; I sold them dirt cheap as a package deal as I couldn't get windows to run on them (which I was doing only for the purpose of selling them) and didn't want to put time into them as I had other priorities. Buyer contacted me a few days later and said he got them both running, which was good to hear as he traveled a fair distance - back in December, no less - to pick them up from me.

Good to hear you've moved on, and good to hear your R32s are still being used. It's always a plus to hear if even the most useless Thinkpads are finding a good place in the world.

R3x series doesn't sit well with me... I had an R31 and it was without a doubt the most horrid Thinkpad I've ever owned. I bought it a couple years ago for $10 from a sidewalk sale, and put Windows XP on it. I lent it to my friend, but then he reported the machine was randomly shutting down, and I couldn't trace the source of the problem(it wasn't overheating, or a short).

R3x may be the worst Thinkpads to own, ever, but they are still Thinkpads, so we must treat them as family.
