adding slightly to this: use a boring backpack (padded of course), 
*not* a computer satchel/bag. i use an STM bag (made in australia) 
that i ordered from laptoptravel.com about 3 years ago for around US 
$ 100 -- apparently, this is on sale now for US $ 54.

and shawn brings up a good point: if you don't *really* need it, 
leave it at home. i only travel with my trusty Ti500 on business, 
otherwise it stays at home guarded by my attack cat.  :")
