This month, a tip that will hopefully save your
laptop! You just pulled up to the destination
of choice and grab your bags from your car or taxi
then oops, one bag slips and falls to the ground.
No problem right? Wrong. Last night you
packed your laptop along with the mouse in the front
part of your carrying case.
You say big deal right? Well it wasn't until
the fall and the mouse coming into contact with the
fragile laptop lid but you won't know this until you
get to your destination and intend on using your
laptop. Your happy that you made it with no
delays, pull your laptop from the case, open it.
Hum, everything looks ok as
you remember the earlier drop, wiping the sweat from
your forehead. You fire up the laptop and bam,
you see the most terrifying thing of your life and
your entire body turns into a cold sweat.
This
is exactly what happened to me and I hope that none
of you encounter this situation in the future.
By simply repositioning the laptop in my case, I
should of been able to slip by this disaster.
Because of airline carryon restrictions, we jam lots
of items in our cases. Next time you travel,
take the time to strategically place the items in
your case. In my situation, the power supply
and mouse rest in two convenient pouches in the
front of the case, right in the same area that the
laptop resides.
Simply
turning the laptop around, with the lid (top) facing
away from these items would of resulted in a lesser
direct impact, saving the fragile LCD display.

One last tip - Place a business card or
similar type card with your contact
information in each of your luggage bags,
including in your carry on cases.
