Hi Eleanor
I think I'm going to purchase the whole kit from laptops
direct, they sell everything to do with the netbooks and
laptops and their bags start at £12.

Adrien

Jackie where I went to purchase I asked about the bags
because again of you
telling us. Would you believe they had none in my local
Curry's. Now I
will have to go to Oxford Street in the morning. A good
task anyway for my
new guide dog Neela. do you mind me asking how much you
paid? I see
various prices within a few pounds were discussed here so
hope George
forgives us. Otherwise perhaps you would tell me off list.
