This is a stub… it will be updated at a later post, maybe for all fucking thinkpads.
PS/55, PS/Note, PS/2, clones, and some POS systems
This is most of the laptops. Some i am missing… i just remembered one that IBM made but wasn’t really a laptop per-se, something like a PDA or tablet, but before the workpad… FUCK.
But for now, it is one table. Basically im jotting down my thinkpad timeline in… excel format but fucking writing down the dates this time instead of just that graph lol
Hopefully I’ll have one long as spreadsheet in HTML format and it’ll be a static page or something. idk how to use wordpress 100%.
