Harney is great. Try their Paris flavor if you like flavored black teas.

Didn't like Caribe personally (but if you liked the Green Tea + Coconut, it's worth a shot). If you like Paris you should try the Boston (almond + cranberries, it's a little subtler) or the Apricot black tea. If you're near NY you can go to one of their stores and try everything/crazy things. The SoHo store has an infuser where they play with things like Paris-infused ice cream floats or Bulldog gin. I think the Grandson runs the SoHo store. also if you're super lazy/cheap, look for the teas in the 50 packs. a lot cheaper ($11) than the fancy satchel tins and more convenient than the loose stuff, if less fresh.

No, we smugly talk about how we have the best health care system in the world without realizing that only applies to the 1% who can walk in and pay cash (or more likely use their invite-only credit card with a bajillion dollar limit) for their in-home treatment with an exclusive doctor who has a total number of patients that you can count on two hands.

I thought that style of laptop died out in the late 90s/early 00s, or at least that style of internal trackball/button combo, crazy. Guess it was cheaper to produce it as is rather than make a new mold?

Only Thinkpads and some HP business laptops still have it. They work fine in a pinch if you don't have a mouse. It's preferable to a lot of PC laptops with lovely tiny trackpads.

My ThinkPad has an awful trackpad (X230), especially the buttons, so I use the second set above the trackpad but not the nipple. Its too hard to adapt to imo e: nice piece of hardware otherwise though & worth the $100 I paid for it strap on revenge has a new favorite as of 07:19 on Feb 10, 2015 |

I had a ~2008 Thinkpad of some kind with the TrackPoint® and yeah, the trackpad was so lovely I learned to use the clit mouse, when I couldn't be bothered to plug in my wireless mouse. It works alright once you're used to it.

It's drat got a drat Centrino processor. Seriously I doubt it would even run Windows 7. Why even spend money on it at that point?

I have a T61 as well and just got Windows 10 running so 8 should work too. Also the track point is cool and good and by far the best input method for a laptop

I have a Lenovo Z50-70 it doesn't have a clit mouse but the track pad is absolute garbage sometimes it has a mind of it's own. Content, I bought a cake tin with one of those catch things on the side. Gonna make some cakes.

Some business-grade Dells have them too, or at least did within the past few years since about half of the ones in use at my office have a trackpoint. Content:  Had a giftcard to Northern Brewer from X-Mass, and they were doing a promotion where I got 10% off for ordering through their new beta site, so out of pocket cost to me was only like $20 after shipping.

The rubber bits on the HP laptops (which we have at work) come off really easily but then they're shittily built altogether so that's no big surprise. IBM laptops, of course, are pretty much indestructible.
