In part, I'm looking for a justification for getting a shuffle in addition to my regular ipod

2) I really wanted something smaller than the mini for "on the road", as nice as the mini is, smaller is better

Along with all the good stuff mentioned above, I carry a photocopy of my vehicle registration to be legal. I might be paranoid, but before I leave my car in long-term parking I remove the actual registration & hang it on the fridge. Just worried that should someone steal/break into the car they'll have all my personal info with a pretty logical assumption that no one will be home for a while.
And no, I don't wear aluminum hats (mostly)

1. Laptop, power adapter, essential software (1 DVD).
2. Sony PSP (w/2-3 games & movies), power adapter, .mp3s on MemoryStick
3. Any paperwork necessary for the trip.
4. Treo 650 and charger, bluetooth headset.
This all goes into an Osprey Torque, along with 2-3 days of clothes, a couple of sets of workout gear (shorts/t-shirts), assorted PowerBars/Zone Perfect bars, a book, my shaving kit and a pair of running shoes clipped to the bag with a carabiner. The best thing? The Torque fits into the overhead bin on RJs loaded this way.
I'm lucky in that my gig doesn't require suits, etc. I can get everything I need for a 4 day trip into 1 small bag.
