Vic, have you tried https://haveibeenpwned.com/ for the password thing?

Re: IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads

Where do you guys get your Euro Thinkpads from?
I have a french site "https://www.backmarket.fr/" which is OK they do seem a touch over priced and I'd be very happy with a qwerty-esque keyboard (or pop the caps off a frenchy)

Re: IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads

I like my new laptop.
I still mistake the Fn and Ctrl keys for the Thinkpad arrangement.
I am tempted to give this to elder child once she needs a computer to do some actual work on and get my self a half not shit X1 again.
