Consultants, whats in your wallet?…or maybe your laptop case

This is directed at anyone who has done computer repair, networking and so on outside of your own office environment. I am doing more work on systems and networks than programming these days, just because the demand seems to be higher and I wanted to see what other people carry with them. Right now my list includes the following:

• Laptop
• Laptop Case
• Monitor Cable
• Optical Mouse
• Parallel Cable
• USB Cable
• Network Cable, incl. Crossover
• Extra Power Cord
• Phone Cord for Modem
• Windows XP CD
• Windows 2000 CD
• Backtrack Linux
• Windows 95 Boot Disk
• Windows Security Tools
• Miscellaneous Software
• Pen and Paper
• Flash Drive (128mb)
• USB Hard Drive (160gb) for Large Backups
• Tool Kit
• Spare Screws

I know the flash drive needs to be larger and I plan on buying one soon. I am not new to the type of work, but I am new to doing so much of it outside of the house where I do not have everything I own accessible to me.

Do you have any recommendations to add to my arsenal?
