I bet you eat quiche as well.

Cunt.

But, seriously, laptop bags can cause all sorts of shoulder problems if
you're not careful. Thing is, you don't notice them at the time - you
only notice there's a problem when you get in the car the following
morning and find it's a painful stretch to the gearstick.

Get a less pikey bag and an automatic. Seriously.

Mine runs 24/7. And runs Azureus. Not a problem. Toshiba Tecra. Windows XP.
There is good reason why most of the world uses them. Of course the new Mac
stuff is nice but ridiculously fucking expensive.

Couple of points of order here.

I have a decent Targus bag.

Secondly, the gym doesn't help problems caused by trapped nerves brought
on by carrying the bag.
