A couple of thoughts -- CompAid used to sell "slipcases" which were a "case" that didn't have handles, pockets, etc. Sort of a padded envelope for your computer. I used one of these and made sure my computer was between a couple of folders in my book bad (thus protecting from sharp/cornered objects). More recently, I use a computer briefcase made by Jordan (or somesuch) that I found in CompUSA. It has a seperate area in the bag where you can put a smaller computer case. I use one of the Targa "compact" cases -- it's sized to hold my TP760CD and nothing else. I put it in the briefcase and everything's fine. Another option, perhaps better for you, is to go to a good camera/video store -- preferably one that caters to the mid/high end amateur or professional. You can buy plastic cases which are lined with foam -- you remove the pre-cut foam blocks such that your equipment fits snugly. (These are also advertised in video & photo magazines.) Good luck! -- Lew Jansen At 10:37 AM 6/20/97 -0400, John Kim wrote: >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?
