A highly recommended company

You know, it’s not as if I buy computer bags every day or anything and you don’t either.  But the next time you buy one, take a look at PivotGear.com. 

I knew I’d need a new bag for the (yet to be delivered) MacBook because it’s so much wider than my existing 12” PowerBook, so I looked around and finally decided I needed a Crumpler Considerable Embarrassment.  (Crumpler’s website is an abomination, and the names they hang on their bags a little ... odd ... but they make a quality product.) I found the bag I wanted at PivotGear, and I’d read a couple of reports of people having good luck with them, so I placed my order yesterday at 4:30PM.  I selected standard shipping even though they had overnight available (for $25) and free shipping (which normally means it sits on a shelf until someone gets around to putting it in a box.)

By the time I got home I had an e-mail from PivotGear telling me that the bag had shipped via FedEx, and it’s on the truck to be delivered today.  That’s kickass service by anyone’s standards, and certainly way good enough to get public kudos from me, so the next time you want a good bag try PivotGear.com, they have earned the Hoosier Illuminati Seal of Approval. 

Now if Apple could just get the MacBook to me in the same kind of timeframe…
