Anyway, I'm not saying that I WILL NOT wear a dorky backpack if there really and truly is no feasible alternative. I just would rather not if it can be avoided. I'm also trying to avoid on the one hand buying an ugly bag I don't like only to find out that a better looking one would have served just as well, and on the other hand wasting money on a "hip" bag only to find that I have to go get some practical atrocity on wheels.
