Laptop cases/backpacks for 18.4" laptop

[John Esak]

Hey Ken,
The case I've been using on my HP 17" is the filePro case that was given out
at an old filePro convention. It has filePro sewn into the front of it...the
computer swims in there easily by 1.2", so an 18.2" thing would fit.  It is
very cool because it has lots of pockets for different things and stuff.  I
would give you mine, but I don't like you enough.  

John

P.s. - Do I even *need* the :-). Have we gotten that stupid yet?
