Re: "Talking about my X61 ThinkPad Tablet + R3dfox"
Windows 7 is the latest version of Windows I ever used, and the one I still use on the the rare occasions I can't avoid Windows.
But I'm curious: is it really safe to connect a Windows 7 machine to the Internet? My understanding is that the security is so broken that it wouldn't last five minutes.
How do you deal with that? Or is it not as bad as I thought?

@darkghost yeah, pretty much, just stay on websites that have the locked lock icon in the URL.

Talking about my X61 ThinkPad Tablet + R3dfox — I want to talk about my ThinkPad Tablet for a little bit, and to also cheer me up about why I enjoy my Windows 7 32bit machine. I like that I can carry it around in a laptop bag, and it's square shaped, and I'm not sure if there's more newer laptops that are square shaped. But back on topic, I also like that my X61 ThinkPad Tablet has a stylus as well too, and a touch screen. My only cons is that I'll probably give it a slightly bigger hard drive,...
