I bought the black backpack on the right about fifteen years ago at some place like Marshall’s, T.J.Maxx, or one of those outlet malls. I lucked into a very, very good backpack that was rugged, functional (pockets in all the right places), not too big, not too small, and easy to carry. After a lot of hard use, it was time to make a change, but it truly seems like I am saying goodbye to an old and faithful friend. Lorena helped me find a new backpack at Marshall’s based on what I learned from the old one. I think a lot of the features of the new one are the same, quite a few are better or did not exist in the old one, and one or two are not as good. I really like that there is an external jack to connect to a USB power brick and there are some pockets that will really help me get through airports more easily. In addition, I will be able to easily carry two laptops which I will need when we move to Mexico. All in all, I think it was a good purchase.
