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.
