Speaking of which, has anyone found a place that sells just the padding for a computer so you can stick it in any old backpack or book bag? I think a lightweight metal or plastic case lined with about 1/4" - 1/2" of padding on the inside would be ideal for those who don't want to buy a case that screams "notebook computer inside - steal me!" The neoprene cases (Wetsuit?) come close but are next to impossible to find and IMHO don't have enough padding. An alternative would be to buy the foam cubes used for photo gear. But neither of these provides a hard shell to protect against books and other sharp and nasty implements that reside in my book bag. :) -- John H. Kim kim@mak.com
