Longer ago than I would admit, when I got my first job for which travel was required — the job I was working when I met my husband — my dad made me this beautiful, hand-tooled leather briefcase. There was no such thing as a laptop computer then. In fact, it was another year before I had any kind of home computer — and then it was a home-made Radio Shack model with a tape drive, a pin-feed printer, and no monitor. But it turns out the case works beautifully for toting around my laptop!
