Targus Netbook Bag for my HP Mini 1000

Tonite I found a Targus bag that works great to hold my HP Mini 1000 netbook. The bag is a Targus DVD213US designed for portable DVD players.

I found the messenger style bag at TJ Maxx on the clearance rack for just over $5 thanks to the TJ Maxx customer appreciation day.

There is plenty of room in the netbook, power adapter, mouse, camera and even a book if I need to.

Skooba Design Makes Awesome Bag Straps

I got a new Targus bag from Staples a few weeks ago and my only complaint was the poorly designed shoulder strap.  Thankfully my wife got me a Superbungee Strap from Skooba Design and BAM totally transformed my messenger bag!  The strap from Skooba Design is so comfortable i had to fight with the cottonelle puppy to leave for work in the morning.  I only need to haul my bag for short distances but I can’t imagine carrying it on any serious commute without a Skooba Design Superbungee strap!  The strap has a bungee in the top portion which helps support the weight of a 4th edition strategy book so you don’t throw your back out getting an MBA.  Anything that can make taking a step towards a desk for 8 hours enjoyable is well worth it and right now Skooba has 15% off all shoulder straps.
