[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've used both the F-803 canvas satchel and
the J-803 ballistic satchel, and I find that
the skosh more room of the J model makes it
*much* more versatile. Among other things,
it easily holds a 12-inch Powerbook in the
outside back pocket, which makes it handy
as a double-duty camera and laptop airplane
carry-on.
