When I was reading the original article, my second thought was 'why not just install Linux'. My first thought was 'call a friend who has too many computers and borrow one for a bit until you can get the thinkpad fixed'.
Now I have two further thoughts..
How does one use a data projector from an Apple laptop these days? Most projectors I come across are staunch VGA.
Is the X11 environment still available under the current MacOS? Just run Xmonad under that...

Looks like a new version released a few days ago for current Mac OS X

- faulty 14y agoWhich hardware does use thunderbolt? Never heard of anything that used it. Except for apple stuff, of course.
- culturestate 14y agoAt the moment, not much - Apple's displays and some third-party external drives. There are announced plans from Sony and Asus (I think) to add it to their laptops toward the end of the year, and Intel is close to adding support to their chipsets. I'm interested to see if Apple's approach (partnering with Intel) will help it avoid Firewire's fate.
