My New Laptop
It’s late now, suppose to sleep now, but want to blog for a while!

Yes, I got my IBM Thinkpad X40. It’s really great, light, durable! On performance side, it’s good enough for me(I only develop web application coding ma, and I don’t play game).

The specs,
Intel Centrino 1.5 Ghz
40GB HDD (Minidisc?)
1.24GB RAM768MB RAM(max is 1265MB)
Wi-Fi B/G
External (really slim) Combo Drive!
One damn cute backpack
and etc

Want to know more? Please give me some time to play with it, it come with a lot of good stuff, especially the HDD active protection system. I will get more picture up on Monday. Why take so long? Need to reinstall everything ma!

Stay tune, and looking forward to read more on my X40 🙂

Unix/Linux? No to Danny
Hahaha, Friday evening, while I am playing with WINE and CrossOver Office, Danny said it’s cool, he said will run Linux on his laptop from Friday night! I just received a sms from him “I will install back windows.. …” Heh, I think that photoshop & Flash MX don’t really works on WINE or CrossOver, for time being, due to new project need a lot of designing, I will still with Windows, until I can find a stable Window Emulator

    Well, the most important is running photoshop and flash for me. Now i think i need Illustrator as well.
    I am not moving into Linux/Unix yet, MrKiasu, yes linux/unix is powerfull. On server administration and scripting on Python, Perl, PHP, C and etc.

    If you are looking for a unix and linux for normal user use, u can try out Ubutu.

    Dudes all(mr Kiasu), who says linux is not user friendly? You need a newer distro like Ubuntu Hoary..

    Just Plug and Play!
