i finally finished it; my thinkpad x61 tablet!
it's an old laptop that folds into a tablet. i did a lot of work on it to get it usable in the current year argument 2025. upgrading and replacing lots of parts. the hardest was replacing the display with a higher resolution one that includes a backlight. thank you to my brother for helping me remove the protective glass and the digitizer from the old display and reattach them to the new one! i definitely couldn't have done that on my own.
so, how is it? i like it a lot! it's great for drawing, and not too bad for working on my website. my website does run poorly on it, though. probably all the javascript. might be time to look into redesigning the site with a static site generator...
