[nagdu] two quick questions

[Julie J]

Jenine,

Yes, that is helpful.  I didn't know that about messenger bags.  I always 
thought they were interchangeable and could be worn on either side.  And I 
never thought about how they might fit a woman.  That helps me narrow down 
the possibilities.

Thanks!
Julie
