I've got both a 760 and a slightly heavier 755cx. I carry them routinely without fatigue. In fact, I use a fairly bulky carry case as well. Of course, some people fatigued more easily than others. You might look into getting yourself a special laptop backback. I have one from CompuAID which looks exactly like a normal Jansport type bookbag and is not labeled, so it won't attract theives. Inside, it has a custom pocket which holds a ThinkPad firmly. There is also room for accessories, and/or books and such. Such an arrangement offers an inconspicuous method for transporting your machine, and it's no different than carrying a bookbag, so if you can do that, you can do this. -Mike --- Michael Klenner East: klennerm@is.nyu.edu New York University West: mklenner@pacificnet.net Tisch School of the Arts http://pages.nyu.edu/~mdk1143 Institute of Film & Television talk: michael@24frames.com ---
