Thank you.

I’ve always heard great things about thinkpads and Linux. No one I’ve heard ever shared a negative opinion about thinkpads; just the usual, “It’s built like a tank” statements. Now that you’ve spoken the truth about a thinkpad, will you go into hiding? I’m joking, but thank you for the truth that is difficult to tell.
