My Newt sits in a stylish "Man-bag" from Wilson's
leather. It has it's own pocket. The rest of the bag
has my essentials like credit cards, money and stuff.
\and since my man-bag goes with me everywhere, so does
my Newt.
At work, I carry my Newt around by hand. I don't mind
showing it off and sometimes while walking down the
main cooridor (it'a 3/4s of a mile long connecting 10
buildings...have to walk over a mile to get to the
cafeteria and back to my cube) I do get comments.
And everybody in my department knows that the new is
mine!
Now...if only I can get a package that says
"help...help...I'm being repressed!" When the security
password is put in wrong.
