Well I wanted to know what accessories all you guys use for your powerbook that you really find useful, also list what you always keep in your bag with you.
Accessories:
Marware keyboard pad - goes over the keys on your kb during transportation, to prevent scratches on the screen. I have not had any scratch issues first hand, I bought this pad before my powerbook actually arrived. Even if it's excessive, I don't want to risk damaging this amazing (and expensive) machine.
Radtech wildpeepz - little rubber pads that go on the corner of the display to prevent shifting caused by that very small gap between the screen and the bottom. Some may say this is excessive but it gives me some peace of mind.
Spire Volt XL backpack - just the bag I use to carry everything, it has compartments for all sorts of stuff, and is really sturdy with the sleeve they give you to put your laptop in.
Things I keep in my bag:
-AC adapter
-headphone out to RCA Y-adapter (if I ever want to hook my pb up to a stereo, etc)
-all the adapters it came with (external monitor, video out, 3-prong power cable)
-cd wallet of stuff
-external mouse by microsoft (don't hate me, it's one I bought years ago) - I hate using the trackpad unless I have to.
Lately I've been taking EVERYTHING I have with me to and from work just because I am not really carrying for more than 30 seconds and I am still figuring out what I need on a day to day basis. So right now in my bag I have my iPod, iPod dock, cd wallet, frozen throne and wc3 cd's, a DVD, external mouse, digital camera, etc.
