[Thinkpad] FYI

[Canyonlands Computer Raypair]

So far, Ellis gets the award for most sympathetic, understanding comment
about a near tragedy.  I hope I can come up with a better one before dark,
but it will be difficult.

Does anybody make a sarcophagas shaped like a Thinkpad? It wouldn't have to
be a huge one, as JamesHE is clearly in the best shape of any of us.
