I thought seriously about getting a Backpack until I took a close look
at one at MacWorld.  It's a great looking, convenient appearing drive
except for one small detail.  Looks like you can kiss off using your
expansion slot for anything that needs to get to the outside world.
There's no place to run a connector out of the back of the Mac (e.g.
a monitor cable) with one of these in place.  

So I bought a regular under-the-Mac external drive instead.
