Thanks to Jane (and others) for posting replies. Yah, the PowerBook goes into the Peli no problem if I remove the lid foam and stash it in checked baggage for the flight. Later, the PB goes back into it's own case (actually the removable laptop compartment from a LowePro Stealth backpack). Thanks for the reassurance. I'm heading over to NC for the Grandfather Mountain Nature Photography Weekend. Anyone from the EOS list going? It's a blast and beautiful scenery to boot. highly recommended. I must remember to tell you the story about the rabbit ears ;-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
