I am an avid collector and restorer of IBM ThinkPads. My collection includes the very first ThinkPad notebook, the 700C. The famous "Butterfly", the 701C. The rare and early 2-in-1 notebook/tablet, the 360P. The strange mashup of subnotebook and writing pad, the ThinkPad Transnote. The cute and tiny, Japan-exclusive, IBM Palm Top PC 110. I also have a small collection of other non-IBM palm top PCs. Stop on by to try all these machines out and see what other weird and wonderful machines I come across.
