nancyc shared an idea in Timbuk2 on November 01, 2008 16:01:
Suggestions for TImbuk2 Metro messengerI have three different sizes of Timbuk2 bags, and by far the one I love and use the most is the Metro mini messenger. That surprises me because it's so small, but in a pinch, I can even squeeze my beloved Powerbook G4 12-inch there. What do I love about it so much? I love the grab handle! That's the most important thing. I also like the narrower shoulder strap, the external pocket on the side (not big enough for a water bottle, but good for a cell phone), and the internal mesh pocket where you can secure a small water bottle. I am able to stuff a lot in this bag, and because of its size and grab handle, I can carry it like a much-cooler briefcase.
Note: I have two Metros, one where the key fob is inside the bag, and one where is it in the outer zip pocket. Laura asked me a month ago to post back with my preference: I definitely like the one inside the bag better. The outer zip pocket is so small that putting the key fob there is unnecessary: there's no way your keys could get lost in that pocket in the first place.
1. But I would love to see more color combinations available for the bag. In fact, it would be really great if this were one of the bags you could custom order via Build Your Own Bag.
2. I would like it if Timbuk2 "borrowed" an idea from Tom Bihn bags, which have little D-rings sewn inside the bag. Then you can clip things like additional key fobs, or organizer pockets with clips on them, to the D-rings to help organize stuff inside the bag.
3. Finally, as much as I like the current size of the Metro, it might be great if it were a tiny bit larger. I'm not talking a lot here: maybe just an inch wider and an inch deeper. That would make it almost the same size as the XS Classic Messenger BUT it would have the grab handle and the side pocket and the internal mesh pocket. It would also have that narrower shoulder strap, which I prefer.
Just suggestions. As I said, I love the Metros I have.
Thanks for listening, Timbuk2!

Ohmigosh. I had checked and re-checked every single pocket on the *inside* of the bag (I've got other Timbuk2 bags, so I thought I knew where to look), but you're right: it was hiding, deep inside that outside zipper pocket. I have actually used that pocket and not seen the key fob before, too! It is kind of an odd place for it, I have to admit. Meanwhile, another Timbuk2 employee already sent me out a replacement. I thank all of you for taking such good care of me!

Help! Love my Metro, but it came without the key fobI ordered a Metro messenger online (rust/green haze/rust), and I absolutely love it. I thought it would be too small, but I'm finding it holds a lot more than you might think. However, it doesn't have the red key tether or fob, which I thought it would. Is there anyway to get a replacement key tether? Or are there perhaps some versions of the Metro which don't have it? Thanks so much!

I tried relaunching both iCal and Today, more than once, and this recurring event stubbornly stays on Day A, although iCal shows it as having been moved to Day B. I tried moving a non-recurring event, just as a test, and Today immediately reflected the change. So it does seem to be specific to either this particular event, or to repeating events.

Today isn't showing change in iCal repeat eventI just licensed Today, after reading a review of it in Macworld's MacGems. Like many others, I have been using Anxiety, but I like the interface of Today more, and I also like that it includes events as well as tasks. However, I have a problem. I have a recurring monthly event set to occur every 30 days. This month, I needed to move a single occurrence of that event to a different day. (Not changing the other monthly repeats of that event in the future.) I did that in iCal, but Today persists in showing the event on the original date. Is that an issue with how Today "sees" recurring events?
