At long last, I've arranged for a discount on Thinkpads - designed by IBM and now sold by Lenovo - the industry's premiere laptop product line.

Many of you know that customized Thinkpads are rarely discounted except for large accounts, so in effect I sold Lenovo on the idea of the entire user group community being a big account, thus qualifying for the discount. But you don't have to be a user group member to take advantage of this discount. Just send an e-mail to Thinkpads AT webworkingservices.com (replace the AT with an ampersand, leaving no spaces of course - I'm faking out the bots that are scanning web sites for e-mail addresses) for the details of how you can get expert help customizing your Thinkpad for you personally so you get just what you want for just what you want to pay AND get a 6% discount on top of the great support.

This special offer is effective today and even though there is no expiration date, there is no committed end date, either, so it could be withdrawn by Lenovo at any time. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any!

Over the last decade, I've owned 8 laptops, so I've had a fair amount of experience with a variety of laptops. Here's what I've learned about why I like Thinkpads by using, sometimes abusing, and sometimes losing (to breakage or selling) a bunch of laptops.

For those of you who are into movie-making (seems I know a lot of twenty-somethings who are doing this kind of thing, empowered by the incredible new software tools available) - check out this contest, supported by Intel. Take a look at this web page for all the details.

Sounds like the kind of thing I’d be doing if I were 30 years younger…

For those of you who are not familiar with muvee autoProducer (pronounced “mew-vee”) you are really missing something special. IF you have digital photos you want to share, or digital videos you want to share, or both - then this is the package for you, but only IF you are NOT a control freak. If you’re a control freak and like to control every aspect and every detail of your movie production, and don’t mind spending two weeks on a 15-minute video, then I recommend Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro.
