Speaking of the etextbooks being a pain, right now the McGraw Hill website is having issues, and will not load the portion of the site with classwork and the etextbooks properly. I am in class, and there is a exercise we need to do in the book. I am SOL since I cannot access the information.

They've done little to allow easy access to the information that they're being paid for. By having it be online only, the customer's access is entirely dependent on having a functional network connection, and the reliability of their own servers. If they had allowed for a downloadable format, many headaches could be avoided.
