• Modding my netbook messenger bag
  Posted at 17:22 on September 24th 2009 in DIY, Lifestyle hacks, Netbooks

  Thought there was a limit to what you could mod? There isn't. When I got the 1101HA, my old 10" netbook bag wouldn't fit the new netbook so I bought a new one with more room in it. It did however require some modifications to get it fully tailored to me.

  There are adapters to angle things, but they stick out a lot. I realized that if I wanted an adapter that would actually do what it was supposed to,I would have to make it myself.
