I had a similar problem to yours (s1), same insurance... are you in NYC? I ended up in bed for three months and went for the surgery - a micro-discectomy. Since I was at home in bed I had plenty of time on my hands so I did a lot of research on which Drs to go to and what I could get insurance to pay for - I have blue cross etc also - and despite what others told me the insurance would and wouldnt cover, I ended up paying a small fraction, a few hundred dollars. Out of pocket would have been in the neighborhood of $32k
Post surgery, I have had no recurring problems, I do similar PT to your stretches. If you are in NYC I can give you the names of the Drs and institutions I used. I do have to watch out what I do, posture at work (Im the worst when I am in photoshop, I lean forward just enough and I have to continually remind myself to pay attention and lean back) and misc heavy lifting.
Its just a sleeve, it fits in my messenger bag and my backpack... The thing about most bags is that they are jus bags, these two have a hard plastic shell along with the foam - real support and protection.
The only real problem is the Crumpler will not fit a macbook, only the powerbooks, so now I have to wait for them to make a macbook sized case.
I you live in a city (New York esp) and commute by train or on foot - carrying a briefcase sucks and carrying a hard case, backpack or attache suck - they're too heavy. The Binh is light as a feather and the crumpler on its own is closer to a protective "coating" and is an ultimate "stealth" option. Both have saved my 15" PB on more occasions than I care to remember.
You didn't check very hard - they do sell replacements ($40 with a remote, yikes!). And yes, here in New York (where 95% of the millions of mp3 players I see are ipods) I've seen LOTS of people using ipod headphones on non-ipod mp3 players and even cd walkmans. Pathetic? yes, but that doesn't people won't do it.
The reverse is true to a certain extent - when you see a person with expensive third party headphones (ie shure, etymotic,sennheiser), they're plugged into an ipod.

Things to know about Chuck Norris:
1. Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
2. Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
3. Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are
trademarked names for his left and right legs.
4. The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
5. Chuck Norris defines love as the reluctance to murder. If you're still
alive, it's because Chuck Norris loves you.
6. Chuck Norris isn't hung like a horse. Horses are hung like Chuck Norris.
7. If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck
Norris you may be only seconds away from death.
8. Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead
decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb.
9. There are no disabled people. Only people who have met Chuck Norris.
10. Chuck Norris can win a game of Monopoly without owning any property.
11. There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris
allows to live.
I work in professional medical advertising and those are the rules we have to live by - we can adjust some color and lighting in case studies to compensate for time, lighting, the particular camera and other variances but that's all. The medical reviewers where I work are draconian on this matter for good reason.
On the other hand, I can see why a researcher might do this, given the fame, pressure to produce and the dollar amounts involved. This is similar to the Korean DNA/cloning scandal - He fudged his data big time, and now they're going trough his previous work for further evidence of unethical behavior. Now he'll be lucky to get a job as a toilet attendant...
Every now and then I get requests from some account exec to clean up or "somehow magnify" a particular severity but its my ass (the client would scream for my head if I f*sked with their images and the FDA issued a "cease and desist", costing them millions - its happened before) and I have to come up with a creative way to say "no" or instead create 2D or 3D illustrations. It seems ethics become transparent to people who treat science as a tool for making money or becoming famous.
My girlfriend believed this to be a reasonable method (she had just changed residences) then her Dell ground to a halt after a week. After a weekend spent backing everything up and cleaning it out - I gave her one of my old powerbooks and hooked her up with DSL, she's been much happier since.
It may take longer with dial up - hell, everything takes longer - but it won't be more secure. just slower.
Ubiquitous piracy did not make Microsoft Windows big.
M$ got big for two reasons: One; corporate adoption... they bought it because it ran on IBM and clones of IBM... Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM- or the cheaper equivalent.
The other reason is that people wanted a home version of what they used at work... Microsoft became "what everyone had"... people knew it was going to be OK if (insert several mega multi-national corporate names here) used it. Schools use it because (insert several mega multi-national corporate names here) used it. So people bought it because (insert several mega multi-national corporate names and several university and state university names here) used it, and they wanted to be on the same platform as them.
It has nothing to do with piracy or being "the best". Macdonalds does not make the best burger. Its just the same wherever you go, so people trust it. It's bad for your health and contributes to the obesity problem in the U.S. but people still eat there just like they put up with viruses, worms, malware etc...
Computers are not a geek thing for 95% of the people who use them. It's a path of least resistance thing.
what are the main reasons people list as reasons they can't/will not buy a mac?
1: No games. not if sony releases PS games for mac
2: No multi-button mouse. weak reason but now with "mighty mouse a non-issue. Not that you couldn't go third party anyway
3: Macs are too expensive. With the mac mini and potential price drops with soon to be intel CPUs - a shrill cry
Looks like all the reasons to not go with mac are evaporating. I won't even mention the traditional windows problems...
The Simpsons: "ooh look at me, I can't program my vcr, I can't open a bag of airline peanuts... I'm a freakin' moron"!

Thank you for your kind words. I do 3D med imaging and few realize all the work I put into making information look good - and at the same time keep it accurate and informative. My day is spent telling people over my shoulder "there is no 'look cool button' anywhere on the keyboard or the app"
Adobe Illustrator - for line charts use the scatter chart instead - for the same reason you would use the scatter in excel - you have more control over the x and y axis plotting over time.
You also have an easier time saving it as a picture file of high quality, either as an.eps or using photoshop. That way the people you send it to (or documents you place it into) cant screw it up. If you are stuck with excel - always "paste special-as a picture", never simply copy and paste.
Its a bit tricky to use Adobe insead but professional medical imaging is what I do - from a graphic design standpoint - professional medical advertising. Consumer med is full of pictures of happy people cured of what ever ails them but professional med is all science, FDA approval and legal/scientific review. Every thing I do has to be checked and double checked to make sure the data points plot correctly. Adobe, especially for cross platform (I work on both mac and pc for that reason - it HAS to work) has never let me down where windows is like a 50-50 chance something will come out wrong. A bad font, line point size and always bad color.
It may take some time to learn - but you can manipulate the chart and how it looks to a much greater degree than in M$ - but you have to learn the whole app to do so -not just the chart tool.
There are too many elected representatives in the U.S. Congress, Senate and Executive branches with strange "mystical" ideas - the religious right. It would be hypocritical for any American (especially evengelical republicans) to laugh at an Englishman for voting for a "Jedi Knight."
For an example just look at any decision/legislation regarding science, the environment or simply being "chosen" to lead... a war against the "fanatical fundimentalist Muslims".
There Is No Tomorrow

One of the biggest changes in politics in my lifetime is that the
delusional is no longer marginal. It has come in from the fringe, to sit in the seat of power in the Oval Office and in Congress. For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington.
Theology asserts propositions that cannot be proven true; ideologues hold stoutly to a worldview despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality. When ideology and theology couple, their offspring are not always bad but they are always blind. And there is the danger: voters and politicians alike, oblivious to the facts.
Remember James Watt, President Ronald Reagan's first secretary of the interior? My favorite online environmental journal, the ever-engaging Grist, reminded us recently of how James Watt told the U.S. Congress that protecting natural resources was unimportant in light of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. In public testimony he said, "after the last tree is felled, Christ will come back."
Beltway elites snickered. The press corps didn't know what he was talking about. But James Watt was serious. So were his compatriots out across the country. They are the people who believe the Bible is literally true - one-third of the American electorate, if a recent Gallup poll is accurate. In this past election several million good and decent citizens went to the polls believing in the rapture index.
That's right - the rapture index. Google it and you will find that the best-selling books in America today are the 12 volumes of the "Left Behind" series written by the Christian fundamentalist and religious-right warrior Timothy LaHaye. These true believers subscribe to a fantastical theology concocted in the 19th century by a couple of immigrant preachers who took disparate passages from the Bible and wove them into a narrative that has captivated the imagination of millions of Americans.
Its outline is rather simple, if bizarre (the British writer George
Monbiot recently did a brilliant dissection of it and I am indebted to him for adding to my own understanding): Once Israel has occupied the rest of its "biblical lands," legions of the antichrist will attack it, triggering a final showdown in the valley of Armageddon.
As the Jews who have not been converted are burned, the messiah will return for the rapture. True believers will be lifted out of their clothes and transported to Heaven, where, seated next to the right hand of God, they will watch their political and religious opponents suffer plagues of boils, sores, locusts and frogs during the several years of tribulation that follow.
I'm not making this up. Like Monbiot, I've read the literature. I've reported on these people, following some of them from Texas to the West Bank. They are sincere, serious and polite as they tell you they feel called to help bring the rapture on as fulfillment of biblical prophecy. That's why they have declared solidarity with Israel and the Jewish settlements and backed up their support with money and volunteers. It's why the invasion of Iraq for them was a warm-up act, predicted in the Book of Revelations where four angels "which are bound in the great
river Euphrates will be released to slay the third part of man." A war with Islam in the Middle East is not something to be feared but welcomed - an essential conflagration on the road to redemption. The last time I Googled it, the
