How do you keep yourself organized, a PDA of some sort or an old-fashioned calendar?
I have a decent memory. My todo list for a given day is at most a dozen things. Easy to remember.
What to take notes with, pencil and paper? Laptop? Palm pilot? Tape recorder? Or just too cool to take notes like in high school?
I use a pen and/or pencil and paper. It was good enough for Einstein, its good enough for me. I can't make excuses why my grades aren't doing well such as "I don't have the latest PDA!!!". Hand writing is much faster than PDA and cheaper despite what people will say. That said, a tape recorder (those $10 type... not a digital one with 2 gigs of memory for $4000) are great to play back later especially for good lectures.
One laptop for everything, with a docking station back in the dorm perhaps, or just a desktop? Both? All of this is made more complicated, of course, by the lack of funds most college students enjoy.
I've never had a need to buy a laptop and I'm a double major (Computer Sci. and Business Admin.) save the money because it will be much more useful when you want that pizza on study night or meet a nice girl at school or just want to go out for a few pints with your friends. Desktop power is so cheap now (Athlon 2500+ XP anyone? Now go for less than $100 US retail boxed). If your looking at a PC upgrade get a desktop. Athlon 2500+, 1 GB DDR400, board, case and semi-decent gaming video card goes under $500.
Then I can become gold leads on an AI Server's ram and various cards.... (programmed no doubt with my attitude, personality, intelligence, memories etc) and then I can live foooorever!!!!
er um WAIT! just as long as AMD has worked out heat issues, otherwise hell would be a whole lot cooler place to be! (pun intended, yes I'm an AMD fan too)
I had passed up the store warranty where I had bought my visiontek card (Futureshop -- Canada's version of Best Buy, Fries, etc I think?).
After looking at the side of the box and seeing "lifetime warranty" I thought "great, don't have to spend $34.50 on 3 year plan"...
Never thought they could fold, read that they had a VERY large share of the nvidia geforce market.
But then again look at 3DFX, who thought they'd go under, but at least Nvidia (I think that is who snatched them up?) said a statement on 3dfx.com a while back that they would carry on the warranties of 3dfx cards.
Many have thought that the BBS is dead. But there is still quite an active group of users, SysOps, and developers. Come IRC with us on the official BBSNet IRC Network (here are the links):
irc.lordlegacy.org
irc.thebbs.org
irc.bobobbs.net
irc.tdmonline.com
This is the -definative- source for all your BBS needs. Many of the existing developers IRC here regularly including the current developer for LORD, LORD2, TEOS (The Exploration Of Space)EleBBS, Nexus, Beemail and the director of Micronet mail network.
And many other developers dealing from php, perl, C++ variants, pascal (lots), delphi, visual basic. Good place to get help on starting a BBS.
For the official source on the BBS industry goto:

What visual mischief could you aspiring photographers get into with such a camera?
I have to say the obligatory ultra slo mo pron!
Actually fact is, the adult industry often drives the need for newer technologies I've read.

Just after I quit watching tv in part because of the Dell commercials...
When I walk into Best Buy I will have to deal with another pubescent pimple popping teenager saying "Dude your getting a Dell!"
