Introduction

[Paulo Magalhaes <pamaga@biobase.aau.dk>]

Hello all!

I have just joined this list, and I was informed that a short
introduction is due. Here goes.

I have a ThinkPad 750Cs (first big surprise: I had had the
opportunity of working for a brief period with an IBM TFT
screen and was expecting to feel a big difference when I
couldn't afford one myself; it *is* different, and the extra
inch is often missed, but the overall quality is surprisingly
good - no regrets for "choosing" the DualScan alternative);
my machine has 8Mb RAM and a 340Mb disk; I'm running OS/2 2.1
and it has given me very little trouble (most of it, I guess,
because I'm new to OS/2 - I'll read this list's FAQ first, and
then I'll ask a few questions, if necessary); nothing else, in
terms of accessories - yet! :-)

I joined this list because my machine came with a Danish set
of manuals and "additional software" (the three disks that
come with it). Although I am in Denmark, my knowledge of this
language is rather rudimentary, so I would love to get my hands
on the English versions (the company that sold me the machine
wants extra cash for this, and IBM here in Denmark hasn't been
much help). Question 1, then: is there an electronic version
of the manuals? I haven't - for example - tried to connect
an external monitor to my TP because I'm not sure how to go
about it... Question 2: can I download an English version
of the three disks I mentioned? (Do similar machines sold in 
other countries come with different software?)

And now that I'm here... I would like to buy a PCMCIA fax/modem
(14.4 or higher) in the nearby future - are there alternatives
to the IBM one?

Thank you.

Regards from Copenhagen,

Paulo
