Lenovo ThinkPad T61

The latest business news is that Lenovo's 4th quarter revenue is up by $x,xxx.
My first laptop is a ThinkPad and I've been a ThinkPad fan ever since. Unfortunately I've successfully managed to dislodge its screen half off and made it a bench player at some point.
I wish T61 could be more tough this time. For T61, the only thing I don't like so far is that it does not have a Vista Installation CD. Nowadays Lenovo stores all factory default data image on the hard disk, so there is no companion CD at all.
The good thing is that it still has a RS-232 !

(Limerick Practice)
At the grand opening of this blog, I once envisioned recipes to be part of this blog. So far I have recorded none, which speaks volumes of my cooking skill.
Preparing food takes time. Chinese food is well known for its palatability. Less well known is the fact that Chinese fast food has never hit any home run. Even back in China, the idea of fast food is largely associated with the likes of KFC and McDonald. So it begs the question: Why couldn't Chinese food go faster?
Through my personal observation, the answer might be four folded:
1) Too Many Varieties: Chinese food tends to provide a wide variety of dish choices, which has its logistical disadvantage.
2) None-standard operation: Chinese food is more of an art and less of driving a car. Many dishes are hand-crafted. Instructions vary from book to book. This none-standard practice inevitably causes trouble for quality control, which leads to poor sanitation or taste variation.
3) Lousy cooks like me
4) Picky epicures like me
Confucius once suggested all the gentlemen in this world to stay away from the kitchen. Now I know why and I couldn't agree more.

(Limerick Practice)
Lately I was nagged for not being able to update my blog as often as often can be. The truth is that after living in this world long enough, I feel an adult man would be better off NOT letting everything out from the bottom of his heart. Certainly it is not entertaining, which is a regretful side effect of aging. (By the way, slight entertainment may be found at my blotter)
The fringe benefit of being an EE is that you always get to talk about technology, which makes it a suitable substitute for weather in terms of chitchat topic, since technology, as well as the weather, has no heart.
But the good news is that I can always tell stories, or fairy-tales if you will. Therefore please be advised that the contents distributed here at this blog are, as GNU may suggest, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. (In other words, it could be totally none-sense, just like those words you've just read above.)
