This thread reminds me that I need to contact VitalCrap since my original Mac I used to run VitalBook on died a month after graduating dental school. I wonder if I can load the final version I paid for onto my new laptop, b/c sometimes I do wish I could search a few things in a text book. And now I actually have time to read the text books, but too bad I don't have them handy anymore since my original laptop with VitalBook died.
For the OP, I can't remember anymore the pain VitalCrap was. It was a major pain, but by the end of my 4 years, their product had greatly improved from the junk they gave us in Fall 2000. For the most part, you had to study from the class notes anyways, there isn't enough time for in depth reading of all dental textbooks. I bought a few books like Histology and Anatomy in the beginning to transition between books & DVD.
Gavin, I can't believe you pay $3300 per year. We were paying $1500 per year in 2004, I wonder if it's inflation or school dependent.
