Great episode. I love your speaker hack, very clever idea. I also purchased a refurbished X61 a few years back (the non tablet kind) and it's a great little machine. Like you, I also use it as a machine to take on the road and I took it to this year's OggCamp, where Beni ended up using it for his talk about Lernstick. Interestingly, or not, Beni used it because his Chromebook did not have VGA out. I like that old hardware can sometimes be more useful than new stuff :)
