yeah dont get me wrong, i like the integration of technology and web-based learning.... but come on, i could have bought a laptop with ONE semester of the fee, and saved the rest of the money.

an alternative i propose would be at the beginning of each semester have a large group-buy for a laptop, to leverage some quantity and get a good discount from whatever provider.... but this should be optional for the student.

ie - take whatever computer comes with the group buy, or be responsible for finding your own.

pretty simple.
