*Quick Update*
My large 2010 Classic Messenger arrived today and first impressions are that I am thrilled I got the large and the bag is fantastic. Pockets everywhere, build seems very durable, and size is just awesome. It would easily accommodate a 17" laptop and some extra stuff in the sleeve area and still house my camera gear with insert and some stuff in the main bag compartment. Without the insert, I could easily commute with a laptop, and a towel, sweatshirt, jeans, shoes, t-shirt and a bunch of small stuff. Frankly, unless I was hiking or traveling for more than a few days, this bag would make a great travel bag as its that big internally. The cool part is that it doesn't look huge on the outside. Stoked buyer so far and I'll be using it to hold my Crumpler BR on the commute home so I'll know more about comfort then. I'll get together with Kinghong to do a better review alongside the medium once he has his.

you will love the bag. I wouldn't endorse using it for hiking (one shoulder get tired from the repeated up and down), but for a travel bag it kicks ass. Also you will begin to be amazed at how much you can actaully fit in them...timbuk 2 seem to have developed some way of cheating the universe on what you can get into their bags :P
