How did the Pod cope with Ivan?, keep reading to find out..."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/roadwired-pod.jpg" /><br /><br />A Pod, packed with electronics gear, and a hurricane. Makes for a gripping story - but, really, there's no match. I'll give away the ending: the Pod won. 8)

You can't buy that type of advertising. :D This is a bag I'd tell anyone with gadets to buy. I know I'm happy with mine.

I have difficulty getting everything I want into my Podzilla. How does he get that much into a Pod? :?:

Just when I thought I had too many toys, I read an article like this. LOL
That does look very interesting to say the least. I wonder if I could cram my laptop and all its accesories in that bag? LOL...

I was on Grand Cayman during Ivan and whilst the PPC survived it was useless because there was no power. 4 days after the storm we made it out to Miami.

This isn't something I am going to try, but with winds of 175mph constant (gusts of 220) and horizontal rain hard enough to strip paint from cars, wouldn't the case just get blown away?

Techtoys,
Always travel with a battery extender. A PPC should never be useless as long as you have AA batteries. :D
