I never like courses the closely tracked the text anyways, with some exceptions in the hard sciences.

I usually bought used textbooks... The 80286 had just been developed into affordable systems (released years earlier) when I was graduating from college ("University" for you Euros out there). "Affordable" machines released with it as a processor were going for $2,000+ US. So, no ebooks. I figured if I wasn't going to bother cracking the spine on the book anyway, I might as well save the cash.
