Dead tree memory modules at loss leader prices

It’s never too early to start luring parents to stores to buy school supplies and other things. At Walmart in Kalispell, the current loss leader is a spiral bound notebook, bearing the Sustainable Forestry Initiative certification notice, for seventeen cents. It’s a good notebook, with perfed, 3-hole, pages that can be torn out and placed in a 3-ring binder. I bought five.

I wonder how many students still take notes using paper and pen. iPads and laptop computers have a lot of advantages, especially for people whose handwriting is not easy to read.
