<p>Well, I’m bringing my X41 TabletPC, so notebooks are gone. But in the old days, I just bought a few 1" binders (whatever colors you like) and notebook paper. I couldn’t use the notebooks because I’m lefthanded, and the spirals would cut into my arm and hand. It was distracting and irritating. Occassionally, I just wrote upside down (flipped the notebook), but I preferred binders to notebooks.</p>
<p>As for ORGANIZING said 'books and binders, that’s up to you. Once in college, no one is going to tell you that you have to have dividers or anything. For me, I just kept my notes organized by chapter, no divider or anything. It worked. For me.</p>
