During my senior year I could expect to pay $120 per quarter for books.  That's
almost $400 for that year alone.  My reasonably complete home computer system
cost less than 10 times that and was much more useful than the non-Unix
systems around here (someone just give me Unix for that thing....).  Some of
the more specialized books (Digital Logic Design Using Bit Slice...) cost
on the order of $35.  Even the entering Frosh are getting stuck with $25-$30
introductory books like calculus!
