Contest Reminders:
- the biggest factor for winning this contest is the age of your Thinkpad (which is 80% of the criteria). History-wise, the Thinkpad was the major IBM laptop model dating way back in 1992. However, Lenovo carried the IBM Thinkpad trademark around 2005. Clarify with Lenovo Philippines if the IBM pre-Lenovo series are eligible. Check out this historical list of Thinkpad models.

- deadline is fast approaching. It's on December 7, 2010.
