Funny, I carry the same bag when I have to go to the "technology expos" that my agency has. Problem is, I use it when I am shown what I have to implement for my division over the coming year - without any budget and a government manager who thinks that a toaster oven is a cool computing device!
I'm really grateful for all these folks that just have to have the latest iPhone, iPad etc. They pay top dollar and help drive down the price of the rest of the technologies.
Engineers on the other hand generally prefer older technologies though, coz they are tried, tested, and all the expensive little traps are exposed.
