I needed to bring a desktop computer for the big demo we’re doing at a trade show this week. To keep the suitcase weight down, I thought I’d implement something akin to “Sealed Air.” I filled Ziploc bags 3/4 the way with air (leaving a buffer for pressurization changes), and coddled them all around my
