This is probably the all-time textbook I've ever had, mostly considering information technology is decidedly un-textbookish. Full of [mostly] interesting articles, information technology was fairly easy to get through; I did really read it! And despite being a textbook, we were assigned all, only like three, of the articles it contains. So I did end upward reading the whole god damn matter [or close to it]!

Hooray for last calendar week of my summer class and a short summer before fall term begins!
