"If you bought a ThinkPad between 1995 and 2017, it was probably designed under the oversight of David W. Hill, who served as lead designer under both IBM and Lenovo for those 22 years. We caught up with Hill, who today runs his own firm, ThinkNext Design, to talk about the history of ThinkPad, what drove him to make key design decisions, and the products he wanted to come out with but just couldn't."

On the downside I am very warm, tired and my work day has been pretty hectic. On the upside I have just treated myself to a new keyboard.
Mechboards.co.uk are having a Dutch auction for all the random stuff they need to get rid of. I scored a Keychron V6 Max for 拢80 which I鈥檓 pretty happy with!
