(another thread), I have been considering getting another laptop that is a little more modern and faster. I've been pretty pleaswd with my T43 models. I used the first one for about 6 years. It worked great until we had lightning hit the power lines and I had it plugged in charging. After that, I would never start. I guess the lightning fried it. I bought another T43 on ebay (used), I have been using that one since. About all I have had to fix is to replace the battery. But thats expected. I plan to buy another Lenovo laptop, but something newer. I will just use XP again, but if I buy one preinstalled with Win7, I'd try it. I have heard Win7 is good, but I;'ve never used it. I DO NOT want Win8.x or 10. and I cant afford a lot. A working USED one is fine. What models of Thinkpads are more suited to Win7? Even if I install XP myself, I would like something with a little more speed and power. My T43 works fine, but when I go to a WIFI and use Firefox for downloading a lot of files, the whole computer gets real slow. However, closing Firefox and restarting it, fixes the slowness, so I sort assume it's firefox that is causing the slowness more than the computer itself. I am running Firefox 47.02, which is actually around a year old, but FF keeps adding more bloat and I know that is a reason for slowness, not to mention a lot of crappy websites. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.1 * Origin: Prison Board BBS Mesquite Tx //telnet.RDFIG.NET www.
