Well, Sara and I used the bag regularly, for holding camera, iPod, Nokia
tablets, etc, and for carrying laptops too.  In fact, Sara doesn't have
a laptop backpack at all.  I've seen Ryan Lortie using his GUADEC bag a
lot too.  Though he's now switched to LCA bag.  And lets not forget that
many many of the participants use their bag during the conference.  They
are a lot better than bulky laptop carrying cases.  But maybe it was so
suited to Spain and the beach.
