I prefer the pack mate for club meetings and stuff which is a big reason I
bought it, and some other things but I find myself opting for the laptop
more. On vacation this year I'd like to not bring the pack mate at all but I
don't feel like coming back and having to restore everything because the
battery's dead again. 2 weeks is about the limit but I may try it. I prefer
my laptop and won't use either very much while I'm away, 1 less thing to
carry is 1 less thing to carry, especially with my go kit now what it is.
