    How have you completed your TZ package?


    Here's what I've gotten so far:

    1. Sony Leather Cover VGP-CVT1/T
    - love how it looks, but adds a lot of weight

    2. Zeroshock III Black Sleeve
    - for when I take off the leather cover

    3. 4GB Sandisk Extreme Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo
    - for ReadyBoost, not sure if it makes any difference though

    4. Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Laser Presenter Mouse 8000
    - love this mouse, awesome powerpoint control, built-in laser, great battery life

    5. Shaggymac Screen Protector for 11" wide screen notebooks (Stealth)
    - for laying over keyboard and protecting screen, also cleaning screen, love it

    6. CooSkin Keyboard Protector
    - mixed, know it's protecting my keys from wear, but ugly, squeeky, and now showing hazy wear spots

    You spend a lot of money on protecting something that will be obsolete in three years! :)

    Well, to each his own, haha.

    When I buy, I buy to keep and I take care of my stuff. Last laptop I owned was a T23 Thinkpad, in fact still have it, going on 6 years now. Man that thing was a warrior and I still love it. Really, for what most people use their computers for, why do you need the latest and greatest? I certainly don't for MS Word, powerpoint, graphpad, web browsing, iTunes, etc. But the portability and function of the TZ was worth it for me to upgrade...

    Carlos, I obviously highly recommend the mouse listed in my original post. eBay $50.
