Recently picket up this old Thinkpad T30 for 2 bucks at a local flea market. Its a bit scratched up and the battery is more or less dead but everything else is working fine. Its Pentium 4M, 1gb of ram and 40gb hdd might be a bit overkill for win2k but its really amazing. Running Firefox 13 and a webone proxy to deal with ssl issues.

your life will improve if you stop sorting yourself and everyone else into arbitrary groups of named generations, that have more difference within them than between them..

Generations are useful in the case of aesthetics because each generation has a different source of nostalgia

so someone born in 1997 has a different source of nostalgia to someone born in 1996, but the same as someone born in 1998?
