[nagdu] two quick questions

Thanks!  That's how I'm wearing my current purse, but the shoulder strap 
isn't quite long enough.   It gets caught on the hood of my coat and is 
generally a giant pain to get off.  Next time I'm at the store I'll look to 
see if they make ones with any longer straps.

Julie
