Laptops Required for Freshmen 594
An anonymous reader writes "Indiana State University will become the first public university in the state to require all students to have notebook computers, beginning with incoming freshmen in fall 2007. Guess which laptop is the preferred one..." I started bringing laptops to class around my Junior year. I'm unconvinced that they helped me with my grades.

Yes, but in three years, the laptop will be so old and out of date, they'll have to purchase a new one.
I completed my undergraduate studies 17 years ago, and let me tell you, that Calculus 101 Textbook is STILL providing me with many nights of riveting thrills and spills. I re-read it at least as often as I re-read Lord of the Rings....

It could be worse. It could be four years ago with a then state of the art integrated graphics card. We all know that CAD was a useless endeavor until NVidia graced us with last week's SuperGPU9000+. I would hate to think how barbaric engineering was back in the ancient days of the 3dfx.
