I now have a laptop/notebook.

[hmpf]

Haven't had one since I broke my old one about two years ago. The new one is an old one, too, technically, as I (or rather my father - it's an early Christmas present) bought it used. It's an IBM Thinkpad T41, which means it's fairly light and thin for an older machine (which was one of my main criteria for choosing it, the other being reliability). Judging from the state of the keyboard and the general state it does not seem to have been used much, although, as with nearly all used laptops, the battery is shot. It came with a preinstalled legal copy of Windows XP.

So. I can start working on my thesis in the library now.
