[ale] [OT] Sad Day - Thinkpad Dying...

[Ron Frazier]

This may or may not be relevant, but, if you're not a gamer and don't 
require very fast refresh rate, you could try a USB -> Video device with 
external monitor.  I understand they're pretty good for not so fast 
moving screen data at moderate resolutions.

Check out http://www.displaylink.com/ or Google displaylink.

Typing nvidia quadro nvs 140m into Google yields many results and a few 
of which may sell the part or the motherboard.  Not sure how cost 
effective that would be.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
