FinallySpent the weekend (and lost far too much sleep) getting my new laptop all setup to do what I need and want it to do so I (hopefully) won't have to be carrying two laptops around anymore (I need to find a new laptop bag for this one -- any suggestions on a good, well-padded bag for a 17" laptop?). It's been really annoying having a nice new toy to play with, but never being able to really use it. I still need to do a few more system-level tweaks, and clean up my Start menu a bit, but we're mostly there. I really need to redo my applications list to include some other utilities I installed during all this and remove ones I didn't need any more (as there were a bunch of redundant ones on there) Then maybe (after I catch up on some sleep) I get back to blogging on a more regular basis. Happy Mother's Day everybody! Posted by Jake on 05/11/08 @ 05:09 PM

And when I travel to do network assesment I can get my 17" HP plus my 12" Thinkpad into this case. Last business trip I got stopped by TSA - They asked me to remove everything electornic from this bag, so I produced: 1 - 17" HP Notebook 1 - 12" Thinkpad 1 - Buffalo 500G Network HDD 1 - iPod Classic 1 - Palm TX 1 - Sony Voice Recorder 1 - Toshiba External 120G HDD 2 - 1G Memory Drives 6 - Various AC Adapters 1 - Dr Who Sonic Screwdriver So, the bag is pretty versatile and holds a lot of gear.

Ignore the reviews, I can tell you this is a well made bag!! It is totally solid, built like a tank and is wheeled if you like that sort of thing. Plenty of room inside. If you want, Jake, I'll send pix. Just let me know. I notice nobody had pix inside the case. It's bigger than the Grand Canyon!! GQ Post a comment |
