OmegaSupreme Nostalgia maybe? At work I have MB Pro and some huge fancy display on the side with all the pixels in the world, when I get home I actually enjoy using the old trusty Thinkpad. I do have modern displays and newer computers at home but I only open them when I really need to... I hope I'm not elitist but just enjoy the feel of old high quality hardware. That X61s is still one of the best pieces of hardware I've ever used. The design - how the keyboard and display go right up to the edge of the device filling all available space, the feel of the matte surface finish.. just yummy. Sad to see good hardware go unused. I know it can be lightning fast - I've seen it with Beos, Tinycore, QNX.
