    Anybody listened this morning to Howard 100 show on Sirius? Both him and Robin were talking about getting a new X60 with WWAN. It was cool to hear them both talking about Thinkpad and getting excited about something else beside their usual *stuff* :D With millions of listeners and followers, this is a great promo for Thinkpad ;)

    You mean they took the time out from talking about body functions and what not to discuss laptops? Cool. I personally think Lenovo should hire the guy as a spokesperson, could help give Lenovo a bit of a hip edge, lol.

    No way, right on topic! X60 just got its 5 minutes of fame on 6+ million audience show by someone who usually talks about "lapdances" rather than "laptop" :D

    Who cares! Howard Stern pays some guy to record all his favorite TV shows because he's technolgy challenged. He probably won't be able to turn on his laptop.

    I was listening too...Howard mentioned some open-source program that his computer guy had downloaded for him that was called "Object- something". I've been trying to remember what the something was, anybody know what that free program is?

    I just listened to it yesterday and had no idea what he was talking about..

    It was some tool bar though, as far as I'm concerned I hate all downloaded toolbars.
