This weekend I was given an old Mac Classic II, and it came in an official
Apple carry bag. It's big and black and heavily padded and has a shoulder
strap. I do not see this being something that H&S would approve of, but I
imagine the ergonomics of a full keyboard and mouse would trump a laptop
touchpad, so long as one was wanting to work somewhere with power outlets
and desks*.
