do update your X61, I’ve done that twice with my X60 tablet and improved it’s basic performance on boot up both times.

Now, back to blogging for me… I”e been up and back to Azusa, working on MaForbes’ house this week. Ugh– rain gutters.

I'd just be careful to have a bag that says, "I'm carrying a laptop inside." Avoid bags labelled Targus, Thinkpad, Dell....etc. or that look too much like they carry a laptop inside.

I am finding my Kindle to be well-worth the investment! "Hardcovers are not an option. Dragging Pynchon’s latest around the world is like packing the Manhattan white pages." This is part of what makes Kindle so great. Some time ago, I received a copy of Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals," weighing in at 944 pages. I never made much headway because it's too darn big to carry anywhere and it's not even that comfortable to read in bed at night. On Kindle, it's a breeze. I don't know how the price of books will shake out over time but there is very cheap stuff in the Kindle store. After seeing an interview with a fantasy/scifi author I didn't know of (George R.R. Martin) in Entertainment weekly the other day, I bought the first two books in his current series for $4. Nice. I've blogged a bit about Kindle on my blog (http://gravitationalpull.net/wp/) and will keep at it... I have a reading habit much like yours though I probably travel a lot less.

As for backpacks I bought a new one this year from Brenthaven. Even though they reference a certain other manufacturer w HQ in Cupertino, it is a quality backpack. http://www.brenthaven.com/catalog-backpacks.html. This is the one I purchased and would recommend. Duo II Backpack. Although this one has a bit more of an edge. Expandable Trek. I don't think you can wrong. Of note, I used there main number to buy and place the order, after research online of course. And the purchase experience was perfect. And as you know I am a user of the T 43 and it fits perfectly in its own compartment. Easy in and out.
