Bag for ye olde new PowerBook

So - I get this nifty new 17" powerbook, which is much larger than the bag I've got for my thinkpad. Where to put it? After some research, it gets put into a Smart Alec backpack from Tom Bihn, paired with a monolith laptop sleeve.

I thought about both the Brenthaven bags that Apple is hawking, as well as the Spire Volt XL. However, I really wanted as much 'drop' protection as possible, and the monolith seemed to be the thing. However, I need space for my other goodies - iPod, Palm Tungsten T, headphones, cellphone, biz cards, etc, and fullsize headphones don't generally fit into briefcases. So a backpack seemed the way to go.

I've had the bag for a couple days now, and it's pretty sweet. It looks like a classy backpack, but it doesn't scream "I'm holding an expensive computer, steal me!".

More as we go...
