Laptop cases/backpacks for 18.4" laptop

[John Esak]

Ken,
You MUST have one of the filePro(tm) bags FP Tech gave away... Right. Trust
me it is so cool.  It has a handle... *and* a long shoulder strap. Do you
really need it to be knapsack style?  Maybe not.  It is a perfect large
laptop bag.

As for the knapsack idea, though.  I just bought a knapsack style gig bag
for my good guitar. Now it is really cool. First of all carrying the guitar
to the place I play is a pain in the bu... (arm, hand, shoulder)... I have a
heavy duty molded plastic case. I'm constantly switching arms for the 3/4 of
a mile I have to walk.  So this nurdy thing will let me have hands free...
Need one for the cane these days anyway.  Plus, it is really cool that on
the back of the guitar body part is *another* removable, little knapsack. I
put drumsticks and string ease and extra strings... In this guy. But since
it's detacbable and there are lots of little pockets in the main case, it's
perfect.  I'll only use that for my big statium gigs. :-)   So, I understand
the desire for a knapsack type bag.... But for a laptop maybe just the
shoulder strap would do it.  Seriously, try that fiePro(tm) bag.

John
