You mean per year? Also I think you miss one zero in the 9th. Can You please also provide a source?
gytdev··on Why Use OpenStreetMap Instead of Google Maps?
Only in available ways. When it is easy to update the situation (add place to map), I do it. But it's only easy to label areas and buildings, and much harder to add whole villages or roads that are missing
gytdev··on Why Use OpenStreetMap Instead of Google Maps?
I am an avid traveler currently traveling South-East-Asia. One of the most favorite tools used by travelers is an Android app Maps.me, that is based on Openstreet maps. You can download any Country or region and have it for offline use, only need a GPS connection.

There are some practical caveats in using it though: -If You are planning a ride by car, the estimated time for Your journey most likely be way (waaaaayyy) off. Especially in Asian countries that are less covered. It can show 3 hours in a journey that is 8 hours without traffic. -some areas are completely not covered (I mean at all)

But for bigger cities it's pretty good in coverage

gytdev··on Thinkpad X62
I wrote to the guys in the original post. The price is not as cheap as I thought:

X62 with i5 - 780 USD X62 with i7-5500U - 980USD

both setups no:ram/hdd/battery , new AFFS panel (1400x1050)

I will better consider buying a new Thinkpad or wait for the retro edition
