I actually often say: 'my calculator is more powerful than my cell phone, except that it hasn't got calling & sms'ing'
(my brother calls my cell phone a 'brick')

I always wondered: When someone calls a cellphone a brick, is it in reference to how back in the days, cellphones were as huge as actual bricks?

368. When you program on-calc, instead of spending time to properly press 2nd then ALPHA to scroll programs faster, you simply press back and forth ENTER and down arrow and manage to scroll faster.
