154) Your favorite browser is gossamer
155) when someone brags about their "programming expertise" as basic HTML, you just start laughing uncontrollably.

156). Your mom grounds you by taking away your calculator.

Oweng, I had whole fleets of calculators taken away in my time. I still have about 12 or 14 calculators I've never gotten back that I suspect are gone forever, including a 73, an 83, a lot of 83+s, a blue edition, a silver edition, an 85 and an 86, and even an 89. Qazz, nice @ 155 (and 154).

157) The word "calculator" always has an implicit "graphing..." for you
158) You knew the properties of ABS plastic from modding your calculator before you know what ABS meant
159) Your very first purchase of the millenium was a Torx-6 screwdriver, a tool that you lovingly keep to this day and often use

160. You had a fit when you couldn't use your graphing calculator on a test.

161. The scientific calculator you had to use was then modded to have a bigger screen and run the TI-84+'s OS

162. You are known as the class nerd because you program your calcs

163) You carry a digital copy of the TI 84 manual with you on a digital device for a quick reference any time you need it.

164)you take 6 hours converting said manual into powerpoint to export as a picture then Call yourself a moron for not looking online to find a program that can do that for you. ( I did that.)

165) You have nothing new to say so you quote other people's posts.

166) Number 163 makes you uncomfortable because there's no such thing as a TI-84
167) You also have a problem with the TI-nSpire and the TI-NSpire.
168) When you go on vacation, you debate not whether to bring a calculator but rather how many to bring.

ok. I am confused. There is a TI 84. And the only difference in the second one is case of the N?

Also 168 is very funny

169. Bring ALL the calculators!
170. You program for your calculator in more than 2 languages.

There is a TI-84+, and a TI-84+SE, but there is no TI-84. BrandonW will yell at you unendingly if you try to say there is. And the Nspire is TI-Nspire, not nSpire or NSpire, the two most common mis-capitalizations.

oh. OK. that makes sense

171. You cringe at the mention of a "Graphics Calculator".

I saw this class posted in an older course catalog of a community college (emphasis added):



...Gah, it's so apparent that whoever writes those descriptions has NO real knowledge of these courses (or at least I certainly HOPE it wasn't written by someone in the math department)!

Sounds like 99% of America

172. You actually used "add reg8, reg8" in a C program (I was working on DoorBell, and then switched to TaNF for second, and the results were quite humorous)

173) You tell teachers how awesome cemetech is and make it to the browser homepage of your hole school.

augh, they do that at my school too. Plenty of people relate graphics and graphing calculators that way x.x

makes me want to beat someone

Sorunome, I hope #173 is true, but it's Cemetech, not Chemetech.

174) Your calculator projects become so much like work that you start procrastinating on them.
175) [this is surprisingly true] You enjoy symphonic rock, techno/electronica, or classical music

O_o Must have been late, or I was rushing, when I wrote that. I shall correct that immediately.


now to beat myself.

Well, 174 is definitely me. No doubt about that.
