BTW, where do you all get your books from usually? I need a good reliable source for cheap books. I usually get them from Amazon since they have a nice discount + free shipping. <School/Campus bookstores don't count. Their prices are ridiculous.>

Xero - I'm finishing ch.3 now - having fun drawing circuit maps and mapping memory addresses. My mid-term is on Wednesday, after that we move onto ch.4.
I get my books from chapters and the half-price computer bookstore (link is in one of my posts above). Both are near my house so I don't have to worry about shipping charges.

Canadian version of Barnes and Nobles - big chain bookstore. Somewhat expensive, but good selection, and usually a starbucks right in the store so you can get your caffiene fix while browsing. Some even have couches so you can read your book and not even have to buy it.

I bought 24 of my books for $1 a piece.... at a local book warehouse that were being discontinued due to new editions and such. Other than that... I shop at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Bookland, and Ebay.
