The idea was to be able to store up to three laptops if it was possible to store three laptops. In this case it was not possible without getting thinner foam. Despite my slow typing speed I've been able to go through high school and college level typing. I think my typing speed is just fine.

Yes, a person's skill in computer technology is not limited by his typing speed. My client's did not tell me one single thing about my typing skill but rather concentrated on my ability to do a repair or troubleshooting on a computer. I prove my worth through my work and I got the case because I need the storage space and snow/rain protection(NY winters and fall/spring weather) for my equipment.

Congrats, dude!
Thanks! It's been vacant for almost a year from what I understand and there was some ants in there the last time I was up there, so we went to the house tonight with my RE agent and set off a few bug foggers. Going up tomorrow to air the place out and do some pre-move in carpet cleaning. I'll post pics of the man cave and my ghetto-rig once it's all set up.

Hardly trolling at all - someone working in computers should have skills that would relate to it. The average typist working in an office types faster than 30wpm, and while it seems silly, those kind of things do make impressions on people.
Much like how you aren't going to be overly keen on someone changing the wheels on your car if it takes them 3 times as long to get a lug nut off. Or have a photographer shoot your wedding if he is in full auto most of the time.
Basically, having the tools and toys will often make less of an impression than appearing more skilled at your specialty than your client.

Very true but I've not seen the need to improve my typing skills yet. If I feel the need I will load up a free touch typing program from the internet and improve it. As I've meant before I bought the case to improve my organization of my tools to make it easier and quicker to get to than fumbling through a laptop bag that looks kinda like an chunky oval that's overstuffed. Plus due to that the two outside pockets were always too easy to let rain and snow in from a brief walk and everything except for my laptop were exposed to water damage. I don't exactly don't want a tool(external HDD, power supply tester, universal HDD reader, etc...) of mine breaking down in front of a client and me ending up spending more cash to replace those. I'd much rather pay $125 on a carrying case with a lifetime warranty than for say a 500GB External HDD for 3/4ths of that price.

When is your PS3 arriving, F1fan? Didn't you say you was getting it shipped over?
Benefits of living in Asia No. 3928 - cheap electronics.
Well I have a few things to take care of, so it's still sitting in my mum's house right now. Once I get the important stuff out of the way, I'll arrange shipping. I'm too easily distracted, so it's best to just wait for now.

Ooh. Tokyo. I used to live in Minami-Aoyama, next to Roppongi Hills. Right next to Shibuya, which is an amazing place to buy electronics.
If you want the holy grail of electronics in Tokyo though, Akihabara is the place to be. It's literally named "Electronic City," as you might see when you go there
. Back on topic, not my 'latest' purches, but there's nothing else interesting to post:
Aprilia RS 50. Only a 50cc, but it's all I can get for my age
. Ah well, it's great, so whatever . It looks better from the front btw, but no pictures of that unfortunately.

A 2.1 amp USB car charger. With a GPS app running for ~3 hours straight and it plugged in to my 1 amp charger, it never charged at all. With my phone completely off for ~3 hours straight and it plugged in to my 1 amp charger, it never charged at all, despite my phone saying it was charging. Fingers crossed that this one works better.

F1 fanGot a new TV.
32 inch Toshiba Regza. Not the biggest tv I've had, but it will do the job nicely. If only I had my ps3 here with me...
I think that's the same size and model of my TV.

Nice. I live in Mitaka, which is a little boring, however the closest station is Kichijoji, which is a very nice area. Inokashira park is nearby, and that is a beautiful small park. Just bought two cinema tickets for my wife and I. We're going to an all night movie in Ikebukuro tonight. And on the subject of Akihabara, it's very close to my favourite area. Ochanomizu aka Guitar town.
I think that's the same size and model of my TV.
Then I hope you'll be able to provide an excellent endorsement. It's still sitting in the box right now.
The TV company is coming out tomorrow for an installation. Yes, a Sunday. Even mail is delivered on a Sunday. Gotta love Japan. Upgrading to the HD channels which will include F1. 👍
