A Traveller Coolpad, a Marware bag, a Compact Flash reader for my camera, and (I swear I'm the last techie geek holdout on these things as I *just* bought it ) a 4GB iPod Mini. And I have the RAM maxed out at 1GB (it's an older TiBook).

I have a Mouse BT, and I hate it. As a mouse, it feels pretty good in the hand, but the scroll wheel is a little too fast. Not enough resistance when turning it. Also, and the biggest problem, was that it drops its connection on a fairly consistant basis, like every two minutes. The mouse literally turns off and drops the connection. I tried new batteries, disposables and rechargeables but to no avail. Just my $.02, but I wouldn't buy it. Get the Apple BT mouse or a Logitech wireless mouse.

I have the Messenger bag for the 15" and I picked up the quilted case, too. Do you find yours almost too slick to handle? Mine is way slippery. I've almost dropped it when pulling it out a time or two now.

yeah, it is pretty slick. i plan on leaving my quilted case in the messenger back, and just opening it up and taking the powerbook out of the messenger bag like that. the problem is, is that the powerbook fits so dang snug in that quilted case. this weekend im gonna try to stretch out the quilted case a little bit, so its easier to get the powerbook in and out of it.
