Re: new Thinkpads in Spring

  An article in an article I read mentioned that the Toshiba
  4900 (which uses the 75MHz Pentium) has the bug as well and
  Toshiba isn't planning on upgrading people when Intel fixes it
  (which won't be until 1Q95).  The mobile Pentium can't be
  replaced by the user because it is supplied on a fine-pitched
  chip carrier.  I guess buyer beware for anyone looking into any
  new Pentium systems...there will probably be bargain basement
  Pentiums w/ the math bug next year :-)

  If it's anything like the IBM ergonomic keyboard, I'd be pretty
  happy.  A keyboard that can fold or split eases RSI strains.
  Having the keyboard split and your arms perpendicular to
  the sides of your body feels more natural...
