You take a vacation to get away from the daily rut, everything you take is optional.
Sand between your toes is enjoyable....a laptop full of sand is junk!
Just another day in paradise.

...likely no summer vacation, as usual.  If I did have a vacation, I'd probably take a laptop but not use it for tech stuff, and I would definitely take my camera. Heck, I don't often even leave home without it, period!  No programming books - who would want to read about tech stuff during a vacation?

I don't think this should be taken as you are going on holiday, at the most you can take a PDA and GPRS mobile if neeed be.
Camera is my choice !!!

All you need is your toothbrush and shorts.
.net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.

Significantly more people would take their camera than significant other? Maybe there are a lot of single people on here (or at this rate there soon will be).

I agree. A CListCtrl is so '90s. I'd take along a ListView.

Funny people here consider a camera to be more important than bringing clothes or a toothbrush

Might I suggest Hedonism II (in Jamaica), or if your a bit conservative, Hedonism III.
You are, however, right about the toothbrush . . .

Of course Camera. It's a holiday just for rest. but not work.
Study,again and again!

It's green and orange with a strange looking alien imprinted on it, right?
The towel that says "A nerd just came to the beach, don't panic!"

I think that's a good text to put on a sign next to where you lay down on the beach

Also interesting is that Towel currently has 42% of the vote.

Good point: what good is leave if you can't take it?
...usually gets paid out end of your last day of work, the very day before you start your new job at a new company really should start taking better care of ourselves!!

I needed a break after 13 years and the boss said you need to decide where you are going first. I dropped the subject, because I did not understand the concept. Six months latter I walk out the door and forgot to go back.
