...with an additional 100 first-years each will only exacerbate problems. But the answer is not sticking with the status quo, which leaves many first-years deeply dissatisfied. The current system, which is drastically inconsistent and at times downright unfair, often provides first-years with little beyond impersonal study card signings and, if lucky, a couple of superficial sessions of stock questions and answers.

Those calls alone will get you a good part of the way toward your...
...hidden on the bottom, designed to bounce sound off your desk. Throw in the optional Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse, and the whole thing needs only one cable, the power cord. A minor gripe is that those don't come as standard; nor does Apple's wireless Internet card, the Airport. Who wouldn't want to do everything wirelessly with a computer like this...
