My fun training seminar

#1 Post by Purcy » Tue May 22, 2007 4:08 pm

not really, but today I had to spend the day in a training seminar for work on our new computer applications; had to drive about an hour to another city, but boy was I happy when I walked in and found TWELVE Thinkpad T42's all lined up for us to work on. I forget about their corporate America heritage :D

I would love to get thinkpad surprises like those. :mrgreen: Fun stuff.

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.

Almost all of the corporate seminars I attend utilize Thinkpads. Avnet uses a lot of T60s, and I think the last Arrow Electronics seminar had T30s. All of the FAE's use Thinkpads, the Arrow guys have T41s I think. I remember when they just made the switch from T23 to T40, I was amazed.

i dont know about Dow global but here at their HQ they use a crazy silly amount of TP's. My boss for instance simply uses her brand new T60 for emailing updates to them from a remote building once in awhile!! Thats all its used for, sending an email once and awhile, plus an unopened mini-dock. They get new ones probably once a year or so and I looked into buying out some "old" T42's but they are on business lease. We also have IBM in our building as well. Whenever i walk down there i almost faint at all the laptops laying around for repair and what not. Its like a Toys R Us for TP's.
