Laptop mobility

Has anyone come up with a wild and wonderful (oh, and easy. And cheap. And safe. Oh yeah, and cool looking) way of carting the old laptop around while on location?

I did a shoot last week in a busy warehouse (using the demo version of DV Rack - full version arrived today!). To be honest, I was very reluctant to put my laptop on the floor next to a bunch of insane fork lift drivers!

OK, before anyone says "what about a 30m firewire cable" please check out my other post on this forum on that very subject!

I was thinking about brackets on the tripod, or shelves, or trolleys, or, I dunno, whatever - something that would allow the laptop to be within easy reach of the camera - surely a must have for a one or two person crew?
