Think ThinkPad

Being a long-time Mac convert, I'm really not that into PC's anymore. However, do love this - the inspiration for the IBM range of ThinkPad laptops.

It's a leather-bound writing pad officially given out by IBM since the 1920's - embossed with the word 'THINK' on the cover.

I can just imagine someone in the IBM marketing department in the late 1980's racking their brains late at night for a name for their new range of laptops. Rummaging through a drawer, they come across this pad and think "yeah, it'll do."
