I browsed through Mobile PC Magazine today at Borders, it was their "Magnificent 50" issue of the best mobile hardware. The T42 came in at #1 on the whole list and was called the best all around laptop.

I have a T41 but I put the super fast hard drive in it and a Dothan processor, so it isn't too far off a T42, and it is an excellent machine. These machines deserve top spot. ... JDHurst

I just read that article too. Go IBM Thinkpads!

That's nice to hear. Makes me feel better about spending every penny of my financial aid check on it, for the whole quarter.

Ditto that. I spend a large portion of my GTA salary this semester on my tpad. It was totally worth it!

Your GTA salary? Common, Grand Theft Auto isn't that expensive...

Oh, I think you know what I'm trying to say...

Yeah, that's right... I said it...

That I'm spoiled? I like to think of it as just being well taken care of.

But on a more serious note, I'm extremely greatful for them. I appreciate each and everything that they do for me and so just as a small token of my appreciation and gratitude, I work for them (I'm also currently attending college) so that they can stay home more and rest. I look at them now (I'll be 21 in Dec.) compared to what I saw 5 years ago and they've aged. They're getting tired and they need the rest. They've more than deserved it.

I know. While my parents don't have enough money to buy me lots of stuff, they always made me feel like I had enough. My parents are awesome too, and if they could afford it, they'd spoil me senseless...

Great parents are good to have.

The Dothan can go into a T41?
I have a T41p and would love to throw in a faster processor.

Sho 'nough it can go in. Search the forums and you will get a plethora of hits back. Then go find a good price on the Dothan of your choice. Likely ZipZoomFly or Newegg will have a good price.
