Girl at School(With a TI-83+): I want to make a program with my name as the title. How do I make a new program?
Me: *grabs calculator and makes program(takes less than 5 seconds)* *Hands calculator back*
Girl: Wow! That was fast! Thanks!

Not trying to make fun, but really?
It's also funny how most people I know that have a graphing calc have a program with as name their own name, with just some random stuff typed in it. They think that when it asks for a name, you have to fill in your own name instaed of the name you want to give to your program.
Even funnyer is that they often don't even know they made a program, and sometimes they don't even know the calc can run programs.

To them it's an organizer/phone book/calculator.

I remember when I was in China I got a 16g flash drive (this was 7 years ago). At first it worked, and I was copying over pictures from my cousin's camera into it. Suddenly it told me it was out of space...So I checked how big the picture folder was... (Windows XP)

You know how on old computers, if a file is very large the size will visibly increase for a few seconds before settling on the total number? Well it did that...And kept doing it...

It told me the pictures folder was 200GB before I closed the window... It wouldn't let me reformat or delete anything or copy or move anything on the drive XD

Moral: be careful buying electronics from China even though they are all 1/8 regular prices
