 FreeAgent Go portable hard drive
seagate.com
A new product that helps college-bound women stay polished and professional. More than half of people do not back up digital content on their computers. It’s great for young professionals who want a convenient way to store, back up and transport all their term papers, reference letters, work samples or portfolio components and resume (plus their libraries of movies, music and photos) between home, college and work.
The sleek, stylish design, array of fashionable colors, easy-to-use software and portability make it easy for young female professionals to look polished and tech savvy while also having the piece of mind in knowing that all their important work and personal digital content is safe and secure.
 “Sending Your Child to College: The Prepared Parent’s Operational Manual”
ksblinks.com
Something special for parents written and donated by Marie Pinak Carr and her daughters: Katharine Carr and Ann Carr (with their perspectives as current and recent college students).

Nuance’s Dragon NaturallySpeaking has helped students across the nation to get ahead in their studies and professional lives. Dragon gives PC users the power to use their computer three times faster than most people type – with up to 99% accuracy – just by using their voice. But what most people don’t know is that Dragon is actually able to go farther than just creating Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, giving you the opportunity to surf the Web, send emails, Instant Message, and more – all by voice. You can even create voice commands to insert blocks of texts or images – such as your signature for emails.
