At last a great idea from the Universities (and Apple)

This Story put a smile on my face:.
----
Students starting their studies at Duke University in the US are to be given an Apple iPod to help them learn.

The North Carolina university said the iPods will be pre-loaded with information for new students, as well as a copy of the academic calendar.

They will also hold course material such as lecture notes and audio books.

----
Now THAT is a great idea.

    I saw that. Maybe I should go back into education again after all.

    On the other hand, the words 'NEVER AGAIN' are screaming themselves at me...
