I've found that big solid wheels embedded in the case work best. I've taken my suit holder along very rough terrain- cobbled streets etc.- and no problem. The only drawback with it is it can get noisy on rough pavements, so it can be a nuisance if you're going to your hotel late etc. -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org |
