[Reader-users] Carrying the Reader

[Mike Freeman]

Tracy:

Your Reader probably won't count against your limit. I've taken a 
carry-on, a computer, a blood glucos meter and the Reader on a plane at 
the same time without protest.

  Terry,
  It's a good thought, but I'm already carrying my backpack and my 
laptop,
  and there's a limit of 2 carry-ons.  And a limit to what I can 
physically
  manage.  I feel like a donkey, or a turtle, carrying my house on my 
back.
  Thanks for the ideas, though.

Terry,
It's a good thought, but I'm already carrying my backpack and my laptop,
and there's a limit of 2 carry-ons.  And a limit to what I can physically
manage.  I feel like a donkey, or a turtle, carrying my house on my back.
Thanks for the ideas, though.
