Finally a new laptop – Thinkpad T520

As I have previously mentioned, I finally pulled the trigger on a new laptop, the Lenovo Thinkpad T520. I wanted a solid and reliable laptop and the Lenovo T-series has offerred that for many years. It was tricky to time the purchase as Lenovo is constantly changing the configurations...

Feature Mustang Registry Updates Underway

My last round of web site updates included changes to the 1992 and 1993 Feature Mustang registry forms.
