For $100 you can have the laptop, and then with the pdf version of a 
text book for $25ish and always have the most up to date version - thats 
great.  Seems like a good way to go to me.  Do students these days really 
write past the fifth grade?  In a day where I have read that many 
universities consider undergrad libraries obsolete, this seems a logical 
progression.
