I'm probably enjoying this joke way more than I should... ;)

I do not, but if I ever decide to start one I'll make sure to let you know.  
Glad to meet you as well!


For me, the trackpoint is perfect but I see why someone might want to use a  
touchpad. There are external touchpads like these, in fact:

which might be a solution.


Learning to do certain tasks on the command line is really useful.  
Fortunately, most tutorials originally tailored to Ubuntu will apply to  
Trisquel as well - so learning material is abundant.


Regarding the colors - I have no real idea on how to fix it and am not quite  
sure if I understand the problem you're describing.

Congratulations!
I'm more than happy to see one more person in possession of a liberated  
computer and even more happy to know that you seem to be enjoying it. Best of  
luck to you in your endeavour!
While we are at it - Microsuck is a very fitting name for the company and  
imho Winblows is an accurate counterpart for their operating system ;)
Love the fact that you're trying to get your rebate to be used by others -  
that might be an incentive to someone, I hope.
Since this seems to be the right place to write this down, I'd like to share  
my experience with buying a liberated X200 from another vendor (it's about  
the laptop itself, running Libreboot and Trisquel 7). I've been very happy  
with the device myself, upgraded it to the maximum of 8GB RAM and got a  
speedy Samsung SSD for it. All in all I couldn't be happier. Great keyboard,  
fast and absolutely great when it comes to running Trisquel (haven't tried  
any other GNU/Linux distro with it so far). Very much looking forward to  
reading your blog, which I didn't check out earlier. Your style of writing is  
especially nice to read and the contents aren't any worse, either.

All the best and have a great day!
