Who's Blogging  |
Diana Aurisch, senior at Georgetown University.
The newest iPod. "I have an iPod, but I would upgrade to a newer one. I have it with me all the time -- it's what keeps me from acting aggressively toward people."
Darjené Graham, senior at Woodbridge High School.
A Dell laptop with a CD burner and a DVD player. "That would take care of everything -- your papers, the Internet. Oh, and a printer too."
Danielle Payne, sophomore at Georgetown University.
A backup data-storage device, such as a keychain drive, can be "really useful." These gadgets are about the size of a lipstick tube and plug into the USB port on a computer. "Or an iPod that's engraved with 'Good Luck' or something on it."
Jeff Remick, junior at George Mason University.
A 42-inch flat-screen television. "I need a TV for my new apartment, and they're really nice."
Eric Jones, senior engineering student at University of Maryland at College Park.
A PalmOne Tungsten T5 handheld organizer. "I just bought one of those recently. It manages contacts very easily and helps me keep my files in order, even video clips and music. For somebody going into the professional world, it's a very adequate tool."
Gabriela Iraheta, nursing student at Montgomery College.
A small laptop computer with wireless access. "One of those miniature ones. . . . That way I can take it to school, to work, and use it at home."
Andrew Hall, senior at Georgetown University.
A new cell phone. "I have a cell phone, but I need a new one. I'd want a flip-top, with whatever the newest features are."
Steve Croce, senior at George Mason University.
A four-megapixel digital camera. "So I can go out and take pictures when I go on vacation after I graduate."
Amanda Smith, senior at Woodbridge High School.
An iPod. "A cute little pink one. That way you can have music everywhere, at the gym, going for a walk, when you're at school."
Keith Catlin, senior at Georgetown University.
A 12-inch Apple iBook laptop computer. "They're very easy to carry, easy to transport and easy to transfer internationally."
