ThinkPad Sweetness

[Kevin]

All incoming freshmen are getting free ThinkPad R40s. They tacked on the cost to tuition, but I've got a full scholarship

Intel 1.3Ghz Centrino, 40GB HDD, 384MB, 14", CD-RW/DVD, XP Pro and Office Pro.

Pretty decent system, not the greatest though but free is good...

What school is this?

Yeah they do that at my school as well. The laptops we get are also thinkpads. They've been doing it for the past 5 or 6 years.

Edit - This is at Acadia University, in Nova Scotia

They have great taste in laptops and I'm sure that IBM is offering them some nice incentives.
