In my case:

Big enough to hold my MSI Wind netbook in it's soft case, and has enough
pockets to hold all sorts of things, e.g. pens, wallet, a small
notebook, a modified p-38 can opener (larger with a bottle opener), a
yalmuke (sp?), band aids, a foil strip of the local equivalent of
tylenol, a pair of eyeglasses (one of reading or distance, whatever I'm
not wearing) and and a whole bunch of other things. In the smaller
pocket, I keep some change and a bus ticket.

I have an LED flashlight in one side pocket, and often have a 1/2 liter water
bottle in the other "desert fashion". :-)

I have a very dumb small cell phone, and keep that in a pants pocket so I 
can use the vibrate function (no off color comments, please).

In case anyone cares, the MSI has a large keyboard for a Netbook, built in
WiFi and bluetooth and nicely runs that version of BSD that many people run on
netbooks.

Geoff.
