Stupid thinkpad tricks. TP701 & Win 3.1
Can you get your TP to do tricks? If you have a TP701 with the butterfly
keyboard try this:
The next time your mouse pointer starts to drift, retract the keyboard
and then let it pop out again and the hard drive light will come on and
the pointer should stop drifting. "But ohh dear friend," you say, "I already
knew that!" Yes, but did you also know that your TP takes a _screen
capture_ as well?! Mine does! When ever I do the keyboard retract, the
clipboard (In Windows 3.1) magically gets filled with an image of
whatever is on the screen, suitable for pasting into your favorite image
processing software!
Either this is a strange bug on my computer, or it is some kind of
feature. All I know is that I can reliably reproduce this effect numerous
times.
