Well, besides the remark, he did help with some links. With the first post about bags, sfbags are nice. I am not sure if you are looking for bags or just sleeves. Brenthaven's are nice too, though they are much more expensive.

Don't pick a fight with the moderator!

Lol, anyways, here's a cool place. I remember it (although I had to google "Powerbook sleeve" to find them again, lol) because they ship to Canada, too, which is kind of rare.

They make a lot of cool notebook gear and other stuff, too.

it was a facetious comment, lighten up. if i was trying to be a prick i wouldn't have bothered to do the research i did on your behalf. in other words, i didn't know those sites offhand and did a search for them to bring them up. since i had already given u the names of them, i found it odd that u asked for links (i think the links i gave were in the top 3 hits for each google query), hence the playful ribbing.

btw, i just read that the new roxio toast 7 is supposed to have some pretty comprehensive video conversion capabilities as well.

Can highly recommend the Brenthaven bags - have been using the backpack for over a year and it still looks like new. Good protection and lots of room.

I use a program called DVDCopy that works well, although a bit pricey. Welcome to the Mac world.

Yah, triadone was just "playfully ribbing" you. We're all actually pretty friendly

Well, except the Mac boys here seem to have an arch-enemy in the form of ABF, lol.

The BOOQ sleeve is pretty good. Brenthaven bags are nice, but kinda expensive in my opinion.
