I was reading the article on the current MacWorld about traveling light ( Hit The Road Mac ) and it hit me. Traveling light is not just about weight. There is a whole other dimension of elegance and simplicity that is usually not thought of. So I decided to do do something about it, starting with my long iSight and Original iPod cable.


Here’s my to do list:
- 1.8 meters firewire cable vs. .5 meter firewire cable
- Phone AC Charger vs. Phone USB Charger
- USB Digital Camera Cable vs. Internal PCMCIA Smart Media Card Reader
- iPod Dock Cable vs. PocketDock Adapter
- 15″ Powerbook vs. 12″ Powerbook ( once they add the lighted keyboard of course )

I want your now playing thingy too.
Indeed, these things often get overlooked.
If you are going to get a 12″ PB, the PCMCIA card reader won’t work… They don’t have a PCMCIA slot :(

Just curious on the “connectors” holding the firewire cables together. Where are those available from?
those “connectors” are included by Apple in their laptops and ipods. They are great. also, check out Smart Wrap.
The adapter would be better simply, all these wires bother.
