replacing a CRT monitor with a laptop
13th March 2004 to 14th March 2004

I bought a used IBM thinkpad to replace the CRT monitor that took up a lot of space that could be better used for trains. Problem was that the space I had for the keyboard was narrower than the laptop and the cables at the back of the laptop added another 8cm or so of space needed. These pictures show the stages, trails and final solution. The projected was supervised throught by one of our cats.
