Pat's dashboard

The company I work for (NameMedia) recently bought us all laptop bags. I got the Hacker model & it's a great bag! Most laptop bags, like yours, have a compartment where you can keep your phone, wallet, pens, etc, but I don't think I've ever seen one where you could remove that part and carry it separately, like a purse. And that's what keeps these bags from being totally useful to me. I can move all my stuff into my laptop bag and carry it in to the office, but when we all head out to lunch, what's my option? I've got to find pockets for my wallet, keys, phone, lipstick, Kleenex, comb...hey, maybe *you* don't need all that stuff just to go to lunch, but why do you think women carry purses, anyway?!? ;-)

So I have to carry my wonderful laptop bag - *and* my stupid purse every day! It would be so cool if the laptop bag compartment that holds all the non-laptop stuff could detach, with a snap or a zipper or something, and had its own little strap that I could use to put it over my shoulder. omg, it would be the ultimate bag!

C'mon, it's a great idea! I will be happy to volunteer as a tester for your prototypes...
