    *ahem* John, what about Windows Mobile users? We have to use tethering as well... such as WMWifiRouter, which is, of course, paid software.

    My Kindle is my constant traveling companion. Having a couple dozen books with me in a lightweight, compact form is fantastic.

    Timbuk2 bags are amazing. That's one of the best gifts you can give and should last at least 10 years minimum.

    Wet umbrella in your backpack?
    I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

    What about weight Wilson? I ditched my old laptop bag and spent some more on a practically weightless bag. It has the same material used in parachutes.... name's rip stop if I'm not mistaken.

    When I have to carry my laptop around, I just put it on a protective case.

    It's still less safe than my old padded bag, but FAR FAR lighter...

    But I guess it's a personal thing... I have some back issues, and I really really hate carrying heavy backpacks around.

    "This may be me letting practicality get in the way of good style sense"

    when did function start taking a backseat to style? whenever it happened, it's a travesty that men everywhere are concerned with such frivolous girly notions like 'style' and 'fashion'. I cannot think of anything less important in the world than worrying about what the cosmo reading retardatariat thinks of ones backpack. Can you think of anyone with a more worthless opinion of anything than the ed hardy abercrombie joan rivers worshiping mall rats?

    @nutbastard: Agreed, that's been my opinion since about 6th grade, and boy has it saved me a lot of heartache/money in the years since. I buy stuff that does the job, regardless of how 'cool' or 'stylish' it is. What annoys me is when a good, reliable brand, such as Levi's jeans, decides to go for style over form, and thus makes their entire line worthless for actually doing stuff, instead of standing around uselessly. I used to buy their 505 jeans because they fit great, and lasted a decent while. Now, they use a thinner fabric, and don't last worth beans, so I'll buy my jeans elsewhere.

    I've been debating on whether I want to pick up a backpack to lug my stuff around. These new Timbuk2 bags look pretty interesting (I've owned several when I did the messenger thing) but I'm still pretty happy with my Ogio messenger for now.

    i bought a north face backpack a while back that has a lot of these features. i was kinda bummed when i got it because my 17" laptop fits in its dedicated compartment against my back, but just barely. i usually just stick the thing in the main compartment and then stick magazines in the laptop compartment. and i carry magazines because i really only use the thing when i travel. how much did the bag set you back?
