Kinda. Lenovo laptops are standard issues (as obviously they used to be IBM).

Most of the hardware is either IBM branded or more recently Lenovo - laptops, screens, mice, keyboards etc.

The new stuff is all Lenovo though because IBM don't make hardware anymore.

I found the keyboard in a machine room in a box full of old 'junk'. Might have another dig around for more stuff tomorrow!

Get me one, my Saitek Eclipse v2 is falling apart. One of the supports is broken, as is one of the wrist clips.

I don't. I still prefer the File, History, Bookmarks, etc buttons at the top.

So, seeing as you work for IBM, do you get the runaround from IBM Blade Server support?

Hahaha, with the kind of support they offer paying customers, I'd be afraid to even call IBM internal support.

Hm, I just realized something odd.

I always have the task bar to the left on stationary computers, yet always to the right on my laptops.

Weird, huh?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Have to ejaculate the AIDS into another guy, pass it on.

That's how it works, right?
