What Extras Should I Buy When Buying a Laptop?

HarleyPig asks: "I'm using my tax return to buy a laptop. I don't want to know which laptop to get (that's a religious discussion I'd like to avoid). What peripherals do you find yourself wishing you'd bought, or have ended up buying? I know I'll need a mouse, extra cabling, extra batteries and some kind of case to hold and carry around the laptop. What else should I consider putting in my list of stuff to buy with a laptop?"

You don't have ethernet jacks in your bathroom? I thought everyone did.

iSight
iLife
iPod,
Airport
AppleCare plan.

But, I won't suggest a laptop...

Computer in the Bathroom?

I'll bet he's jacking something in there if he has a computer in there..

A UPS

Don't forget the UPS. You wouldn't want the power to go out in your house and lose all your work, would you?

(Oh, sorry, this is Slashdot. I meant, "...and loose all you're work...".)

Argh. You made me look underneath my MS natural keyboard for this bar. I don't have one but MY GOD it's filthy underthere. I'm going home and not coming back for 2 days. When I return, it'll be with cleaning products, and plenty of 'em!
