We aren't allowed to use laptops in ANY of my classes this semester. Ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem as I don't own a laptop, but I have 6 straight hours of class from 12 to 6 on tuesdays and thursdays, so I was planning on buying one so I could screw around in class.

Luckily I have a smartphone so I can still post and email, but still... I could be on AIM or something. :shifty

I thought this was a TECH school. :shifty :shifty

glad we still get to use ours :D

At tech i used to play games of risk on a laptop between 5 people in the big lecture classes :)

Bingo! THat wold make this so much more bearable. Or I could be doing projects for other classes or something. Oh well, atleast I can spend my laptop money on the car. :dunno

Was there an incedent that caused the "no laptop rule"?

I'm curious to hear the reasoning behind such a crazy thing.

There wasn't any event or anything, I'm just taking grownup classes now. :rofl

Yeah, that's how all junior and senior level classes are. I haven't taken my laptop to class regularly in a year. Meh, it does make you pay better attention. :dunno

In my day, a laptop computer was if somebody who wanted to kill you pushed a Trash 80 onto you when you were writing a program in Basic.

Kids these days...

use AIM from the phone ;)

Gotta figure out a way to make that work.

Ah, the Trash 80s... All the power of your average modern wristwatch. :rofl

How is this rule enforced? Ive used my laptop in classes before and haven't been yelled at yet?....know anybody that has taken ECE4270 at Tech...

It's an individual teacher thing. They just tell you to shut it. :dunno
