The origin of ThinkPad name

There are many theories about the origin of ThinkPad. The most popular one is: in 1990, at an employee meeting, Kathy Vieth, vice president of IBM's entry system department (the predecessor of IBM's PC department), asked the planner Denny Wainright to report on the progress of naming a new writing board. He threw a small notebook on the table at random. This is the most common employee notebook of IBM, which is suitable for putting in shirt pockets and leather jackets, and the slogan of IBM: Think is printed on it with hot stamping. The black mat crossed in the air and almost landed on the table with a bang in slow motion, attracting everyone's attention. The development team was very excited and everyone began to speak. No one knows whether it was Sue King, Kathy Weiss or Patty mchugh, or anyone else shouted first, "Danny thinks pad is the best name! Just call it ThinkPad! "

Since then, "ThinkPad", a name well known to notebook users all over the world, was born.
