Calculated Industries 3401 Mortgage PaymentCalc Residential Mortgage Finance Calculator
$39.95
I am a mortgage consultant and have found this calculator has the best tuoch pad for everyday use at the office. I have several others to keep with me at all times, but for the amount of daily use in my profession, the 3401 model is most comfortable to use. The only reason why it didn't get a 5 star is b/c this is my 2nd one and previous 3401 calculator froze after I had it for about 2 years

Eagle Creek Travel Gear Small ES Cargo Duffle,Black
$65.00
I bought this bag to replace an older Eagle Creek duffel that had served me faithfully for over a decade.

When traveling on small "commuter" airlines, the standard wheeled carry-on is not a carry-on. Since I travel with numerous medicines and other things that cannot leave my possession, a small duffel bag is the ideal under-seat bag for my travels--especially in Europe, where some short flights restrict cabin baggage to about 10 pounds maximum weight, as well as a smaller size than the average U.S. requirements.

Packed carefully, a small duffel like this will carry a change or two of clothing, health and bathroom essentials and small electronics. Eagle Creek's construction is sturdy, but light enough that wheels are not needed.

This newer version of the bag offers a place to slip it over a rolling suitcase handle, a slightly larger zippered side pocket, and a slightly different configuration (shorter and wider, with a longer, more curved top zipper opening) than my original bag. All of this will probably make it slightly easier to pack, and easier to stuff under the seat on an airplane.

If you don't want to schlep a heavy wheeled bag on board, or you want to keep your possessions near you, even on tiny planes, this is the bag to choose.
