Amazon.com: I'm going to college; but I ain't going no where!

I'm going to college; but I ain't going no where!
A Listmania! list by H. Hok (Columbus, Georgia United States)
The list author says: "Saving money by going local for a year or two means I can afford some real perks to get me through school. I love reviewing other listmania lists (like lgadget's) for dorm ideas but for now this is what I needed for right here right now community college. Yay! One of the biggest money savers is purchasing used books through Amazon. I have purchased books my local bookstore offered for hundreds of dollars (used!) for less then five dollars on Amazon."

1. Texas Instruments 84PLSE/CLM/1L1/BS Graphing Calculator (Packaging may vary) by Texas Instruments

The list author says:
	"You'll need it for all math and some science courses. The TI-84 comes in silver (cheaper) if you aren't a fan of pink. I think a good deal on the TI-84 model is about a hundred."

2. Fellowes 21140 Booklift Copyholder(Metallic Silver) by Fellowes

The list author says:
	"The best bookstand ever! Folds flat & goes into the backpack. In school you have a book at the other end of the desk you are reading from; while you write in the notebook in front of you. That setup makes it easy to write the problem down wrong or misread. This one simple item has really improved my accuracy & grades. I can't promote this enough."

I use a program called irfanview to label parts with words within the picture and that helps a lot."

6. ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 10.5 Hour Battery Life by Asus

The list author says:

Get any you want but the smallest screen that is acceptable is 10 inches for a netbook. If I had to recommend one over the other between the laptop & netbook I would definitely recommend the smaller lighter netbook"
