ultimate geek girl

School has already started for some of us - and will start soon for the rest of us students! Make life a bit easier with web applications and websites that do the stuff you don’t have time to do or save you a bit of time, so you can spend more time hanging out with your friends studying in the library?

1. Emurse is an online resume maker with features such as a quick resume generator, activity tracking, resume templates and multi-format download. This is great if you are starting early with your job search or looking for a job on campus.

I got this deal in my email a few days ago, and just had to share with all of my university and college buddies! If you are enrolled in a college or university and have a .edu email address, you can qualify to buy Microsoft Office Ultimate for $59.95.

That was not a typo! Microsoft is offering this great package of software to students for only a fraction of the price through April 30, 2008.

What does Microsoft Office Ultimate include?

• Access™ 2007
• Accounting Express 2007
• Excel® 2007
• InfoPath® 2007

Ok, ok, I know this is a week late (I’m not a slacker, I promise). But here is the followup to my previous Technology for Students post. Here, I’m reviewing some of the computer products I mentioned to give you an even better idea about them.

Computers

Cheap Laptop:

I really like the Acer 3680 that’s only $400 at Microcenter.com. It comes with 512 MB of RAM which should be enough to do basic school work and watch that DVD you just borrowed and is expandable to 2 GB which is enough for the serious gamer. The 14.1″ widescreen is a pretty nice size, as are the rest of the specs: 80GB hard drive, DVD-ROM (reads only) and CDRW combo drive, the 5-in-1 memory card reader, and the Wi-Fi card. It is a little over 5 pounds, which is a little heavy, and doesn’t have a fancy soundcard but hey - can’t have everything right?
