my ThinkPad230Cs photo

This is IBM ThinkPad230Cs , the first mobile PC I owned on February 1995. My life with "Linux" started on this machine.

The logo on the machine was given by the originator of Linux kernel, Mr. Linus Torvalds. He once visited the Kyoto University of Japan at December 1995 to give a lecture of Linux. After the lecture, I went to him to apply for an "initiation" of my PC as a genuine linux machine ;-).

It stays on my bookshelf still now.
