There are three ThinkPad referred to in the thread title, and three in many of the pictures, yet I don't see any mention of the third model in the text. Is "tiny" a 240X?
Nice line-up BTW.

Awesome machines!
European keyboard layout on all of them, I see. I'm not too fond of it (mostly due to the small left shift key).

You have a nice collection!
The best way to compare viewing angles would be to display an all-black desktop on each screen. Most (though not all) TN screens would turn white when viewed at wide angles

Well, it's what we normally use here
The original T61 came with an US layout, but I've switched it with a new German keyboard I had that was brand new. I don't mind US Keyboards, but I'm used to the big
Enter key

Ups! Sorry, I'll keep it in mind next time I get the TPs out for fresh air

It's Ubuntu 11.10 on the T61, Linux Mint 11 on the X41T and Win98 FE in the 240...

Sweet, I only do ubuntu LTS releases. So right now all my computers have lucid, except for my bro's dell duo. I upgraded that to 11.10 because unity is great for touch screens. I only have a t30 and an r30. My dad found the t30 in a trash can, and my old teacher gave me the r30. Both are in very good condition. only problem is that the r30 has a bios password and those are basically impossible to remove. My teacher doesn't even remember what the password is, thats why he gave it to me. the t30 has 1gig of ram with a 1.6GHz p4 and the r30 has a p3 with I believe 512mb.

That's something I'm also tempting to do, but I will probably wait for the next LTS version
