Welcome to the first day of class! Google Chrome, Open source textbooks, Wait on buying an iPod

Hope to see you all there at 6 tonight, we will have a ton of things to discuss.  Couple of things I want you thinking about as you come to our first meeting:
 
-How much do you _really_ know about computers?  Do you know just enough to get your work done or have you looked into ways that computers are invading every aspect of our lives? 
-What are computers doing today that we never expected just 5 years ago?
-What is more important to you where technology is concerned:  Flexibility, stability, coolness or ease of use?
-What do you want to get out of this course?  Are you here just because it's a requirement or does technology genuinely really excite you?
 
More on all that tonight!  Couple of news nuggets to get you started!
 
Google drops their big bomb for the year:  Not only are they developing their own browser, but it's done and shipping today for PC and versions for OSX and Linux are soon to follow!
 
Reminder, if you are thinking about a new iPod, wait till next tuesday the 9th!
 
Open Source Textbooks, could this really work?
