i'm a college prof in nyc-and i certaily agree that students have to carry far too many books. i think if pda/laptops were enough en vogue, then books could be stored electronically and would be very useful.

i design my courses to run off an x50v and vga cable so that i can put just about any info there and "project" it to the students. hopefully this will eliminate the need for our "10 lb. text."
