What would be wondrous is if, if students are required to purchase a notebook compy there, then there would be no need for them to buy textbooks. Relevant reference material and texts would be made available via school intranet or distributed by the professor in CD copies that are copied into the hard drives.
Still have trouble envisioning a gaggle of students typing their notes during a lecture. Feels too much like stenography school.
By the by, I've learned from personal experience that a ThinkPad has a keyboard that is horrible to type on when you're drunk.

Chances of you losing the page while trying to bactrack in a text box for editing purposes are great when you have the fuel of an XLR-II rocket engine flowing in your veins.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
