Hi. My name is Stuart McDonald. I am one of the co-authors of the 4.3BSD UNIX math libraries. I have a tp755CD 16/810. Yes, they _finally_ are shipping! I got mine a couple of days ago after ordering one directly from IBM the day they announced it. I might add, I have been saving up for a third-generation ThinkPad ever since seeing my first-generation TP many years ago. I'm a newbie to TP, DOS, Windows, etc. having worked on the Mac & UNIX for many years, but the color display and hardware floating-point with greater range & precision than IEEE double won me over. I have only purchased one(!) Windows app so far, CITY STREETS CD, which I hope to get working with a Trimble ScoutMaster GPS. I am not enamored with funding the Microsoft Empire, so will try to keep my Windows apps purchases to a minimum. I would prefer going the OS/2 Warp route, with the hopes that it would later converge on/with/to Taligent's CommonPoint. In a former lifetime, I was a Computer Graphics Consultant, and currently have a hobby in digital still photography, so I plan to put the video I/O to good use. It still amazes me that something with all the capabilites of a Mac Quadra 840av/CD can now be had in a color portable! -Stuart McDonald, email: stuart.mcdonald@na-net.ornl.gov
