RE: Small laptop-based looping setup: case (slightly OT)

["William Walker" <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

Only consideration is the dimensions of the larger of the two, might not 
fit
on an airplane, Honestly though I'd carry the laptop on the plane if I were
you. The face of those laptop/mixer rack combos is not that rigged and 
could
be crushed in enough, to damage the lap top. I did get one of those with a
six space rack, got it filled up, and it got really heavy. Had a hernia a
week later, and sold the thing. , and bought a Gator rolling rack and stuck
my mixer back in its old case.

I'd not come across Gator before, and was looking at the website.
These two products

http://www.gatorcases.com/productsmodeldetail.aspx?LID=1&PID=26&MID=324
(which holds a laptop & 2u)

http://www.gatorcases.com/productsmodeldetail.aspx?LID=1&PID=26&MID=325
(which holds a laptop & 4u and has wheels and a handle)

would seem to have great potential.
