For capturing the information during class, go with a fountain pen and paper. Particularly for multi-hour classes, a good fountain pen (~$30) can ease hand strain and fatigue. Focus on concise notes and diagrams that summarize the information. Often hand-outs will contain the information you need to memorize.
Then, get a good scanner and document management platform. I used Devon Think (http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/devonthink/devonthink-pro-office.html) for organization of case files in law school. After scanning and OCR conversion, I let it create logical links between files. In this way, I did not have to worry about creating meta-tags or manual linking. Yes, I did go back in and create links later, but most of the time the automated routines worked.
Yes, it will take time to learn in the beginning. Budget about eight hours to start over the course of a few days. The rewards are there if you are willing to invest in the program.
L0phtCrack, like many other software utilities, is a valuable tool. Like any other tool, it can be used for good or harm.
While it is not the case in this situation, it will be a sad day if mere possession of software is ever categorized as a crime.
At my job I am responsible for the security of a corporate network. What better way to ensure that we are relatively safe than to use the same tools that crackers will use to compromise our security?
Sites like SecurityFocus and PacketStorm are valuable resources for the full disclosure of security related issues. I hope we never lose legal access to tools because of their potential abuse.

I agree. You don't need to spend huge sums of money on high end neutron free cables to get a good stereo system. It is entirely possible to purchase a decent new or used system. Check out this site: goodsound.com There are a number of resources available there to help out in putting together a decent system over time.
