This digital life: Textbook rental, Stolen Laptops, IE Accelerators

Once you've gotten through the Powerpoint stuff, here's some handy info to
consider:

1) Clark Howard (a consumer guy with a radio show) ran a story on textbook
rentals. The comments below the story provide some good info from people
who have actually done it.

2) What do you do if your laptop is stolen? Here's a link to an article
describing an open source solution. (as in the software is free!)

3) If you use Internet Explorer 8, there are a lot of "Accelerators" you
can add (they are kind of like the Firefox Plugins). Here are a couple of
article about them:
