You know, I usually check my hotel room's nightstand for the little gift those Gideon's leave but I don't recall checking at this gig. All I was interested in was getting the kegerator of Guinness setup, cleaning all of the camera kit for the weekend's photoshoot of the bands, and getting the word out that the after party was in my suite. :) -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG All your spirit rack abuses, come to haunt you back by day.

Are you crazy? Awful solution, if it would even work. I travel with 2 17" laptops. My MacBookPro and a Toshiba with Linux. Both fit nicely (thanks to the beautiful thin design of the 17" MBP) into this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834997043 as well as my full sides Apple aluminium keyboard, Sprint EVDO card, some cables, Cradelpoint CTR500, and a Compact Flash card/ExpressCard34 reader. I have modified an iGo charger that can be used to power both laptops from wall/car/Airpower in my luggage and the Cradlepoint's wall wart. In other words, traveling with 2 laptops is NOT unheard of. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG All your spirit rack abuses, come to haunt you back by day.
