For many of us, backpacks are the least painful way to lug heavy laptops and other accessories. The sturdy, ergonomically designed Kensington SaddleBag Sport Notebook Backpack survived dozens of trips packed full of digital cameras, and even better, so did the tester who carried it; he was reluctant to give it up for its photo shoot. We especially like the easily accessed side pockets and the comfy padded shoulder straps.
My first editorial job (as a nascent copy editor) was at PC Magazine. I started working here in 1997, when print was huge (as was the magazine itself), personal computers were well on the way to becoming mainstream, smartphones didn’t exist, and floppy disks were de rigueur. I worked up to Senior Editor, then left in 2010 for Consumer Reports to work for its electronics team. After spending one lost year in marketing, I happily returned to PCMag in 2016 to edit and produce the PCMag Digital Edition, which I’m still doing today, along with various other projects as they arise.
