Brandon, I'm old enough to be your g'mother, but tomorrow I'm putting my iBook in a Jansport backpack for a trip to see my kids on a plane and I'm not planning any other padding...but it's a padded one...and I pray it will work...it's the Enigma model which was recommended on the list earlier...but doesn't have a hard plastic piece in it, but lots of room. I have the wonderful Eagle Creek case which is recommended by one of our sponsors, and sold by him...so, check those resources out too. Wish me luck with it and I wish you luck. pat On Wednesday, November 19, 2003, at 01:26 PM, Brandon M. Bost wrote: > In fact, if anyone knows of a good backpack too, > please let me know.
