This... is going to take a while.

May or may not have just scored some beigetastic Cambridge SoundWorks PC Works 2.1 computer speakers for my retro table setup!

This is my first β€œnew” ThinkPad ever, I’ve always had second hand machines. Also marks the end of my personal Mac era, having first got an iMac DV in 1999, and a bunch of iBooks and MacBooks since.
