For a messenger bag check out the stuff from Red Oxx. www.redoxx.com.

Lifetime warranty and their bags last forever.

OMG not only do they have purple, but that’s a really great purple. Difficult to find in backpacks! Saving for future reference - thanks much! :grin:

Happy to help. I have several of their bags including the Air Boss which I have used since 2003. It still looks like new.

As an Australian, I’ll recommend Crumpler and STM for some decent backpacks/bags, although I am still using an old Dell backpack right now.

I first came across the term greeking in desktop publishing as a way of representing text when viewing page layout zoomed out such that text would become illegible or it would take too long to render a whole page for display.

It is also, apparently, the term used for display random filler text (lorem ipsum… for example).

That’s how I’ve always used that term since starting in graphic design.

Also, you should go to the show page, because the picks are almost always linked below, follow the link at the top of this thread to go to the show page, then scroll down to see the topics covered and then the links below that.
