    Well, heres the deal. I recently sold my Crumpler Bag(Too huge) and my 2915 wireless card.

    Now I have some money from selling it(off eBay) and, well, time to spend it! :D

    So, either one is good, and will help me.

    1) Crumpler Beer Backpack.
    -A backpack, duh!
    -I can put stuff in it
    -Its pretty cool looking
    -currently using regular backpack+ASUS messenger bag

    2) Logitech G7
    -Mouse
    -The stationary mouse(v400 will be the traveling one)
    -older mx700 is having problems

    As I mentioned, either will help alot.

    Thanks :)

    Get the Crumpler BeerBag.
    And make sure to post a review of it.

    When you get bored of it I'll buy it off you. :)

    Glad to see you're back SG ;)

    I'm leaning towards the backpack as well, more uses.

    I'll decide by the 17th :D

    A vote for the mouse, just because no one else voted that :p

    Actually I would enjoy a nice mouse more than a bag, a bag is more passive :D

    No need for a keyboard, I have perfectly fine mx1000 keyboard(I sold the mx1000, I bought the combo for $96 and sold the mouse for $80 :p).

    I actually like typing on my laptop keyboard more...

    Forget the accessories. Spend the money on drugs and alcohols. You'll feel much better about the purchase. ^_^ I do have the MX3000 combo and it does suck a bit. If i have the cash i'd buy the MX5000 that use bluetooth setup. Then get myself the Di Novo and replace the keyboard. the laser mouse can stay. Too bad they don't make combo of the Di Novo and the Laser Mouse. I'd jump to buy that instantly.

    Those aren't bad but no 'Zang Bubbly W00h000 mooooo Zippity Bang' effect about it :p

    I have a great idea for a laptop messenger bag(based of a regular school messenger bag a girl in one of my class has - its so cool looking, and can stuff lots of stuff in there) but no one makes it LOL!
