    My Crumpler Skivvy 17 came today (my laptop arrived yesterday, hooray!) and I did just want to say that it fits like a glove. This should also work for the 17" widescreen Dell 9300 - according to their specs, it's slightly less wide than the Gateway. The fit is tight, but I consider that to be a good thing with a notebook bag, and there is an extra zip pocket for small things like a few papers or some disks. It probably wouldn't work for students with textbooks, but it's perfect for someone like me who will travel outside the house with the notebook rarely, and not carrying much with me.

    Sure. Here you are! This is the dark brown/oatmeal version. The shoulder strap isn't padded, but the hand-carry handle at the top is nice and squishy.

    Nice nice!

    I assume you have a 4-year old, based on the picture books in the background? :)

    Twin 3 year old boys, actually. Having the computer be able to go to the family room may save our furniture from dreadful harm. :p

    Thats nice :)

    It's not fun to stay locked in the room all the time, hanging out on the porch or at the park with the laptop and kids(None for me - I have 8 year old twin cousin girls I usually babysit). Spent good times with them without being resitricted to the computer room/bedroom
