The Big Picture for the Week of 4, 2012

The Lenovo laptop I have been usung for five years fried yesterday for not being able to handle the voltage (or whatever the term). Fortunately it came at the end of the trip and given how old the computer was I knew it was just a matter of time before it would have to be replaced. Also fortunate is that I backed up everything onto an external hard drive before we left just in case this happened.

Interestingly I asked for reader input on which computer I should buy and Lenovo turned out to be a great choice. We are flying back home over night Saturday and I will be in Walker Sunday night.

Rachel & I both have Lenovo laptops and they are the best. I used them when I worked for the FDIC.

Let us know what you purchase to replace it. I probably will need a new one soon too.

A reader asked David Merkel the following: "I’m interested ... in a catalog of what, how, and why for “information sources you get pushed to” you and “information sources you pull/poll” on a daily or weekly basis."

I would love your response to the same question.

Here is a link to Merkel's response. http://alephblog.com/2012/03/

My wife and I have been using Lenovo T-series for years and IBM T-series before Lenovo bought them. I always get 3yr next business day at home service but have never used it.

Bought a Lenovo X120e this year. It's the best laptop I've ever owned.
