    Presenting MSword documents on TV with DVD player?

    Power Point actually gives you the option to save the entire presentation into JPEG or GIF format, 1 file per slide. If you have the document in Word, you can import it into Powerpoint first and then save to JPEG.

    Fluance Speakers

    I am no expert but I have owned Fluance speakers for about a year. If you are on tight budget, they are not bad for the money. If you are not on a budget, well, sky is the limit :D

    Ned advice on setting up external monitor on laptop

    If you press the "Fn" and "F4" key combination, you should be able to cycle through the "laptop display,", "external display only," and "laptop and external displays" modes. Cycle it till you get the "external display only" mode and then you can change it to whatever resolution you want.

    Maybe the Infinity Primus 150s? Should be around the same price range as the E30s. Or the Energy C3s, which you may be able to find on Audigon.

    Is there a DVD player that hooks up to a Hard drive

    Not sure what your budget is, but seems like the new OppoDV-970HD may fit the bill. See FAQ/Discussion thread here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=682896 It's only limited to USB 1.1 however, so music should do fine but avi is highly questionable.

    SD Card question for MP3 player

    The firmware may have a limitation seeing beyond 2 GB. The only way of finding out is to try it I guess, unless you can find accounts of others trying that out and succeeding/failing.

    help me find a laptop

    I agree that Dell has aggressive discounts via coupons online, so it's gonna be hard to beat that using academic discounts. I still believe that academic discounts for Thinkpads are real, though the amount of savings may be different depending on the particular model (more expensive ones tend to...

    help me find a laptop

    Second SethH's suggestion to go with a Thinkpad. Another point to consider would be to get the laptop after you get into law school, because that way you can take advantage of academic discounts.
