Thinkpad choices today?
by Scott Sullivan 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

After 4 years my Lenovo x120e has final succumbed to the rough and tumble I put it through. The screen cracked and is unusable. This leaves me looking for a replacement. I'm going to constrain this question to Lenovo options. I don't think I can overcome my track-point addiction. Anyone purchased Thinkpad hardware in the last while? I know with some of the recent models Lenovo has started messing around with the keyboard design. What are peoples opinions? -- Scott Sullivan

Although we haven't identified the root cause yet (investigation is ongoing) we were able to sort things out for the client and learn a bunch of arcana in the meantime :) Just wanted to drop a quick Thank You to everyone's suggestions last week - they were much appreciated.

Possible job opportunity
by Do-Ming Lum 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Good morning, Sorry for the somewhat off topic nature of this note. My wife's employer, a computer services company in Aurora, ON is looking for a technician to help support their clients. They need someone with PC break/fix experience. Their OS needs are primarily Windows -- in particular Active Directory knowledge and MS Exchange. They would probably look on Linux experience as a bonus, but Linux is not the main job focus. If there is any interest in this opportunity, drop me a note directly (not through the list) and I will provide the contact information where you can send your resume. Don't send me any resumes or personal information, as I have no direct connection to the company or the recruitment effort, but am just facilitating my wife's wish to make this opportunity known to the widest possible technical audience. Thanks, Do-Ming Lum President/Principal Consultant Tiger Mountain Systems Consulting Inc. do.ming.lum(a)gmail.com
