Backpacks!

[terwilliger]

I was out looking at new backpacks today.  My old JanSport from college has taken quite a beating (see below -- no it's not supposed to have fringe).  Backpacks are a little different these days.

1. They're much more expensive (now $50-$120)
2. They all have at least a cell phone holder, if not a dedicated zippered pocket
3. Many have laptop

you can probably find something decent at target in the 25-50 range, but this is a tough time of year to be in the market.

Although pretty much every student in my department has a swiss gear bag, with this one being the most popular.

Since I don't know whether to offer condolences on the passing of the old bag, or congratulations for getting it to last so long, I'll just wish you luck shopping.

heheh I should have asked you first! I forgot that you're in touch with the college world. I found a new backpack today and it seems really nice. Who doesn't like new toys? ;-)
