The package wasn’t at my entrance too, it was just on the sidewalk 😕

Fwiw, this is the only time the UPS driver has left the package in that spot. Normally it’s right next to the front door.

    As another commenter hinted at, “Thinkpad” used to mean IBM laptop; Lenovo bought the name (and PC division of IBM) for that reason, and they don’t mind if people think they’re still IBM, because OG Thinkpads were the bomb. This is what I was getting at.

    It’s bananas that the IBM association is just gone now, because the name was huge in the 90s. Sometimes a fella can really feel old.

      That’s why I was confused - nobody said anything in this particular thread about Thinkpads, and you said “Wait till you hear where Lenovo came from” after I’d mentioned IBM.

      If you were saying “Guess what, Lenovo came from IBM,” I’d essentially just said that.

        Apologies for the confusion, and the late reply. I see what you mean; my comment could have been worded far better.

        Exactly because of stuff like the above, I’m just returning from a long break from social media. I’ll do better. Thanks for highlighting the issue, take care.

          Hey no problem! And I didn’t mean anything by it; my reply could have been read with snark included, and I definitely didn’t intend it. Good on you for taking breaks when you need to. You’re good people, and the world needs more of you.
