What's in your bag?

[iowamensan]

Is that a messenger-style bag (as in single strap)? If so, how far can you carry that load before you get permanent shoulder damage!?

Actually, when you throw the pack up on your back, there isn't that much weight on the shoulder. Either way, I don't really have to carry it too far, I can pull right up by the door at all the school buildings I go to.

Indeed it is! My original adapter failed a while back, and when I went to replace it, the MBP adapter was the only one in stock. Since they were the same price I settled with it.

Nice observation there.

I'm nerdy like that.

Actually, the bottle itself is yellow

Thank goodness. I mentioned "apple juice", but only because talking about urine may be considered childish.

Atleast your not Cornwall. Domtar was the only thing going for them, I mean, Cornwall was known for its smell. If nothing else. Now its just... Cornwall. Actually it still stinks because of Big Ben (dumbing centre used as a ski hill in winter, yuck)

I like this thread, I like to see what people keep stowed away, does that make me nosy?

Will post my contents later.

You do know that the power adapter has little arms that pop open to wrap the cord around, and that you don't need your own tie right?

i do know that, but i've had them break on two separate power adapters, and when i use the cord its usually unrolled all the way, this is just easier for me.

I have beat the crap out of this thing already, and it's got nary a mark on it! Seriously though, it take a lot of abuse, and takes it well. I've carried around an Aluminum Powerbook, a Pismo, and a MacBook, and the Eee PC is definitely the lightest and most durable of the four. It makes huge difference when you have to carry around a laptop everywhere, and aren't too concerned about power or screen size.

Here's my bag...

 

[daneoni]

15.4" MacBook Pro, 2.5GHz Penryn Intel Core 2 Duo, 4MB RAM, 200GB 7200rpm Hard Drive, matte screen

Hate to nitpick but its 4GB not MB as in Gigabytes of RAM not Megabytes of RAM

 

[lost eden]

My external drive is not only for backup (I have others that I leave at home), but also to carry my music library, which is currently more than 150GB.

You carry your backups around with you in the same bag as the computer you're backing up? Am I the only one who thinks that's a foolish idea?

If you want to nitoick then techncially it's 4GiB not 4GB.

I think it isn't only for backups and he has other backups at home.

My external drive is not only for backup (I have others that I leave at home), but also to carry my music library, which is currently more than 150GB. This external drive is formatted with FAT32, for transferring files as needed between Windows PCs.

If you want to nitoick then techncially it's 4GiB not 4GB.

Thankfully i don't want to 'nitoick'
