Whereas, the Backpack distributes the significant weight of the Laptop evenly throughout the back, and thanks to well designed backpack straps, you hardly feel the weight. (Its true, I carried a 17 inch HP widescreen and walked quite long and the bags feel so comfy that its as if it is an extension of your own body.)

And finally the clincher……Backpack leaves both your arms free, (which also is the reason our ape ancestors stoop up on two legs…..)

So you can see, the reason for popularity of the backpack is steeped deep in ergonomics and evolution….I hope it answers your doubt….

Cheers…..

thank you for expounding the benefits of a backpack over a carrier case so scientifically..i m sure dat after readin dis many peopl who mite otherwise have opted 4 a carriercase(urs truly mite hav bn bendin in dat directn a bit) wil now opt 4 d backpack..

B4r d moderators pounce on me on charges of spamming the thread,let me just say dis in my defence,an explanation such as the one provided by senor severus snape merits more than an indifferent click on the thanks button..oketounge:

@ Rinki

Thanks a lot for the encouraging words. I firmly believe in the merits of the backpack. It feels nice that I have saved you the painful misery of carrying a 4 pound machine for 2 years at GIM.

As far as spamming is concerned,I don’t think you need to worry cos we are discussing 1) Something relevant (ie Laptops) and 2) We are not having a chat that affects only the two communicators but everyone who is planning to wing it to Goa this June. Spamming is not actually about content, but your intention. If that is good…mods are ok wid it…

@Laptops

I was planning to buy a Compaq 902TU, 17 inch widescreen with 1gb RAM and 160 gb SATA hard disk, but now I have changed my mind. I am going for a HP 14 inch. Reason, The smaller machine has all the computing power that I will need at GIM and plus it is helluva lot lighter and less cumbersome. That 17 inch behemoth is for movie watching, thus I preferred a lighter one. Even the GIM offered laptop fits the bill in terms of ease of handling.


All the best to all waitlisters. May the IIM results bring many cheers to few final call getter and in turn…to you.

Jai Ho…..

Hey Man Kapil

I think you are a bit exasperated at the recent tirade launched against the GIM adm process by a certain frustrated waitlister. Do not make the same mistake that our well meaning senior Mr Akashat Killa ended up making. Do not react to those useless comments. Someone rightly said, till yesterday those who were singing paens about transparency @ GIM are today questioning the integrity of the process as well as certain staff members9with accusations of lying and hiding info….(gimme a break)!!!

All waitlisters, though venting the anxiety and frustrations on the delay, never really question GIM itself, so I think it’s a one off case.I thank all the users for their patience and not making this thread into an absolute groan fest, thus making it difficult to post anything unless you have aliases….


I have always maintained that saying “Just Chill man” is very easy…but u have made it, so seriously, just chill. And considering the RTI thing, well boss, GIM unlike the ill fated government schools do not run on the Government funds and thus, Thankfully, is not subject to whims and fancies of b@$+@*#$ in Delhi….AND….Its also not obliged to give any info under RTI….

Its getting very hot across India…Chilling became even more difficult…..Boss I so badly need these 2 years of assignments in Goa….
