Whoops. Sorry.

Okay... Back on topic. (At least I think so because people were talking about this earlier.)

My first forum website was BZPower.com. (sounds familiar... )

Indeed it does. What attracted you to the host? Free? Features?

It's just that it's the best Bionicle forum ever! (That's what I was into before I got my calc )

I mean, do they offer hosting and such, or is it only a forum / discussion board?

Hosting? (Sorry, I am unfamiliar with the ways of the internet)

Hosting is when you get free or purchase storage space and bandwidth on another person's server for the purpose of creating a public website, such as this one.

Oh, it's only a forum/discussion board.

Abotu Bionicles, or about LEGOs, Bionicles, technology, and whatever? (I could check it myself, but I'm too busy debugging DCS atm).

Mostly Bionicle, but sometimes they talk about other stuff (kinda like the General Open Topic)

Fair enough, that's what I figured. What got you involved with calculator programming, then? Same as the rest of us, got it for class, discovered its power?

Exactly.

Cool stuff. Who else's got an inspiring story like that?

We're getting a bit off topic. Wouldn't this go better in the "How Many Calcs Do You Have" thread?

Eh, I don't really mind offtopicness that much. How many times can people state their ages?

The first person I knew who had a graphing calc inspired me. He was on my MathCounts team (we made it to State) and he once placed 4th on the National Spelling Bee. Ah, the memories...

actually, what got me is in 7th grade, I saw a kid with an 83+SE playing Mario and thought sweet. Then I didn't see one until 9th grade, and my friend showed me what he had on it (Phoenix, Mario, and some math programs), and when I had to get one for 10th, I started with everyones first 83+ program, Quadriatic Formula. I was hooked after that, (that, and I visted ticalc.org a little before I got mine so I got the right one).

Ironic how everyone starts out with a quadratic solver. It's amazing to me how many of my classmates boast to me that they're "good with calculators" because "I made a quadratic equation solver and gave it to everyone".

Okay, here's a list of everyone's ages, in order from ancient to prepubescent

tifreak8x - 22
KermMartian - 19? College
Kllrnohj - 18 Senior
foamy3 - 17 Senior
CalcMan06 - 17 Senior
Chipmaster - 17 Senior
rivereye - 17 Senior
pyro_xp2k - Almost 17
Ultimate Dev'r - 16 Junior/Senior
something1990 - 16
elfprince13 - 16 Junior
Sage Orator - Almost 14
Harq - 13
bfr - 13
calc84maniac - 13

So it seems that I'm the middle one now

I did not know bfr was younger than me...
