T O P I C R E V I E WDannoWell, I got one. I was intrigued enough to contact the seller, find out what he was about, bid on and win one of the big messenger bags with the Soyuz TM-8 flown parachute sewn to the front.Even coming from Canada the service was smooth. I was expecting to see the parachute material sewn onto the front of the bag, but the parachute was actually part of the assembly! These guys actually made the bag with the parachute integrated into it. Same with the text stitching, it doesn't come through the other visible side. Very slick.Just for the record, I don't know the guys and they didn't give me a break on the prices to hawk for them. I just think it is cool (he says, risking the geek label).The sellers username is everquestdesign: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=everquestdesign Take care - DannotegwilymCall me a geek, but those are pretty cool! Tom the space geek.Robert PearlmanI have been "field testing" one of these bags for about two weeks now. As the product is as much a utility as it is a collectible, I felt for a review I would need to cover both aspects. So, it has gone through the airport experience, New York rainy streets, my car's trunk with other luggage and the regular wear-and-tear of everyday life -- with my two most prized possessions inside: my Powerbook G4 without which cS would not exist and my Who's Who.I had promised the manufacturer (EverQuest Design) to hold the review until their website and ordering system were ready. It appears they are nearing completion so expect something to appear on cS soon.[This message has been edited by Robert Pearlman (edited April 07, 2004).]PhilipRobert ...
