Re: [Thinkpad] Mobile system as server

Hi Ross
You are correct and I would agree with you regarding the specific
choice of an X discussed here previously ;-)

I was not looking nor thinking at the respective models of notebooks !

My intention was to bring addidional (an secure) ideas how a notebook
could be used as a (small space needing) server unit with big capacity
of storage with the extending unit ;-))

From begin I was always a mobile user and all my periphery grew
fullfilling extended and secure needs within more than over 15 years:

Except model specific docking stations and port replicators ...
... nothing is UN-usable or wasted with newer notebooks and
my present T30 ;-)))

Sorry for the confusion I may have caused ;-(

Have a nice weekend, svobï

I must be totally missing something here. If one is buying a notebook
for use as a server, why get an X instead of a cheaper and more robust T
of the same (or earlier) generation?
