It is fun if you use fancy formatting with columns, and somehow the anchor character doesn’t show up on the ghost page even with hidden characters on, and you give up and choose 11.8pt font to make the page go away.

That being said, Galaxy Xcover Pro series is probably the way to go, just find an older model for “cheapest.”
If your ThinkPad is old enough, so is it.
I’d take Windows XP. It looked professional by comparison.
Additionally, automating rapid iteration and investigation isn’t necessarily “smart” - it just let’s one try permutations more quickly with the parameters adjusting automatically. Handy, useful, but not this “magic” that tech bro billionaires keep fawning over.
