Some of you may remember that the left mouse button on my laptop had worn out... and that I replaced the 'clickie thingie' underneath the button with the one from the middle mouse button, and eventually (when that wore out, too) the right. So I had to use a mouse with my Thinkpad because you do tend to use the right mouse button every now and then.
Well, no more!
The clickie thingies I ordered never arrived. The guy said that he'd sent them. Hmm.
But another solution was found: stoneshop's friend Charles in the States bought a keyboard for me on Ebay, took it with him to Germany when he went there for work, and then mailed it to me!
So I just took the old keyboard out of my X22 and replaced it with a brand new one.
Oh my! I've never seen such newness before, let alone touched it. The keys aren't even shiny, they're matted! And the trackpoint is bright red and clean! It makes the whole laptop seem new.
Interface = so important. Don't you agree?

Now I *heart* my Thinkpad even more. And Charles, of course, who made this possible!
