I signed up for this forum just because I thought this thread was a little lonely!
I got my Buzz (Indigo/Steel/Black) in January 2010 to replace a 10-year-old Kipling rucksack whose buckles finally broke. I was looking for something a little smaller and more adult (it seems Kipling has gone all pre-teen :rolleyes: ), and a friend recommended Tom Bihn bags.
It took me a while to decide, but eventually I got a Buzz. I wasn't sure I could pack all of my everyday stuff into it, but I have proof that I can:

(Jake the Boston Terrier not included ;). You might have seen this already from the TB blog. If not, more pictures here)
So here's the list:
1.5" binder (holding the current script -- I'm a budding film producer)
13" MacBook + Power supply
Yellow pad
iPod nano case with business cards inside
Pack of gum
3x5 index cards
Pens
Bag of highlighters (used to mark up script)
Small Padded Organizer: holds a small Leatherman, a lock, and spare change
Mini Organizer pouch: holds medicine, lip balm, glasses wipe, etc.
Mini Organizer pouch: holds iPhone connector and earbuds
Key strap with a Janitor's Worth of Keys
I've also put in the occasional trade paperback. Often I don't have the binder, and sometimes I'll include my Neat Scanner and its connection cord.
All this and I don't even use the pocket on the strap or the umbrella/water bottle holder. Not that I *couldn't* -- I just haven't.
I love this bag -- I love that it is just the right size for what I want to carry (and when I get a 15" MacBook Pro, it will fit that too), that it doesn't look like everyone else's bag, and that I can carry it without killing my shoulder. I like it so much that when it came time to order a bigger travel bag, I only looked at Tom Bihn :)
