Netbooks are generally small enough to fit in most any bag you've got, but if you want something small to carry around your Netbook (and your Netbook only), Timbuk2's new T-Pack does the trick. This bag can be used in one of three ways: as a standalone, padded case to be thrown in another bag, as a shoulder bag, or as a backpack-style bag, which in the above photo looks kind of ridiculous.

Along with holding your computer, the bag also has a zip pocket on the bottom that can be used to stash your power adapter, along with a few odds and ends like a wireless card, mouse, or USB sticks. The bag costs $30 and can hold Netbooks up to 10 inches in size, although buyers on Timbuk2's site report that some machines with extended life battery packs don't fit.

Why'd he agree to do that photo shoot?
I'm sure he said ... "Just don't show my face, okay?"

At least it's not pink and doesn't have "Hello Kitty" on it.

I'm not sure if it's the bag or his outfit that makes it look that unappealing. Or both.

I suppose now netbooks will be used in this manner to push the "man-purse" (though I'd call it a boy-purse, 'cause no MAN would *ever* carry a purse) into popular acceptance and further wussify our culture. Is it any wonder the world trashes American "culture?"

I blame women. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go fight clubbing.
