I gotta admit. This is pretty ridiculous. The person who wrote this doesn’t even sound like he’s been to college in the past ten years. This “article” sounds like a regular gadget list with the words college and student slapped onto it.

Dude… TI 89 – love it. Jeeps I remember doing decision maths with the matrix calculator on that. And starting to vaguely understand why a double integral was important.

I have a 20-inch Apple cinema display and already feel incredibly fortunate as a student. A 55-inch plasma TV?! Wow, I’m definitely looking forward to working life then, imagine what we’d be able to afford :D
