BC class of 2007
eee:
have you all given any thought to what computer you are going to buy? what do you think about the ones they are offering through the bc bookstore?
michelle:
as for what computer to buy, I'm def going with the one they are selling through the bookstore... I personally know little about computers, so buying the computer through the school will ensure that I will have the required software, etc. I know that some operating systems are not compatable with "examsoft" (i think thats what its called). So, if you want to take your exams on a computer, make sure your LAPTOP is compatable their stuff. Plus, the IBMs come with a slight discount. If, however, you know a lot about computers, then I would go with least-cost, b/c I don't think it matters much... Def. get a warranty tho!
Does anybody know when they are sending us our class schedules and system passwords?
nachosauce:
system passwords were mailed out already i got mine yesterday but i am in state so you may get yours in a day or two.
you get class schedules i think at orientation or slightly before. but i think first year classes are scheduled monday - friday between the hrs of 9 - 3:05.
nachosauce:
michelle,
which ibms are you talking about? the bookstore uses dells so i am a little bit confused. seemed like they used ibms last year?
i want an ibm i have heard nothing but good so i think i may be swinging that way on the laptop purchase.
eee:
it seems like the laptops that they are offering through the school are a VERY good deal. as much as i hate dell computers, i think the price and the full warranty (where even if i break it they fix it) might force me to go with the BC comps.
my other option is to get a "custom" computer though a company in cambridge. id definitely be better quality, but wouldnt come with the complete warranty...
hmmm... too many choices...
