    of adultery, Jesus straightened up and said to them, 'If any one of you
    is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.'"

    Almost instantly a brick flew right past his ear, whereupon without even turning around He just said: "Mother, really!"

    But my laptop *is* a now Lenovo T480 refurb and I do like it :-)

    Thanks for posting. I'm on my third or fourth ThinkPad - this one a X1
    series. That's over <mumble> somewhere north of 25 years, so the darn
    things last. When it goes to the big bit bucket in the sky, I anticipate replacing it with another ThinkPad.

    I keep a server at home, and when the previous one was on its way out - a consumer-grade HP - I popped for a Lenovo ThinkSystem T250 to replace it.
