Feed Description: Scott Hanselman's ComputerZen.com is a .NET/WebServices/XML Weblog. I offer details of obscurities (internals of ASP.NET, WebServices, XML, etc) and best practices from real world scenarios.
A very suspiciously-shaped package from a random distribution-warehouse-sounding address
just arrived - what's inside? Well, none other than a Replacement Backpack
from TechEd U.S. You might rememember that at TechEd by the end of
the week many folk's bag's inner linings had ripped and at the end of the week there
was an announcement that the bags would be replaced. I still use my bag (I
just hang on to a bag until the next conference, then I use that bag...wonder what
we're getting at PDC?) and it's ripped all over. At a recent garage
sale I sold about a dozen bags for about $5 each, some going as far back as a SiteBuilders
conference in the mid-90's...re-selling conference bags to the general public could
become a lucrative side business for me. I should probably read the bag's EULA,
though. ;)
Anyway, I'm not sure what critical structural reinforcement or steel beams have been
added to this new bag; it looks just about the same to me. Either way, kudos
for MSFT for making good on their promise.
