Oh yeah, I remember the events of Christmas 2010. I was there at the time, I was the one who called, it was kinda scary, but it was for DJ's good. I'm really happy and proud that those events finished with a good ending. I dunno if you wanna talk about it, DJ, that's up to you

And I think what helped him is that I started to regularly hang out with him IRL, therefore solving the no IRL interaction problem.

I thought this thread was a joke... I didn't realize that people can actually be that addicted to calcs and Omni... this makes me scared of programming on my calculator. :O

Erm actually at that time I wasn't even programming for calculators anymore. I was mainly active from 2001 to early 2010 then started a bit again in 2013 after the color 84+ and HP Prime were announced. In late 2010 I was mainly active posting here. And yes the numbered stuff in this thread is a joke, as many of them are exaggerated (although some might actually be true). What I was saying is that my 2010 life collapse (which has long since been resolved) led to me spending much more time online.


Anyway back on-topic:
5643: When you become grandpa and see your little kids, you'll actually teach them calculator programming but with bad programming habits from way back then

5645 : People put tablets in their three YO kids' hands. You'll give yours calcs.

5647 : You always use ? and ?? in Axe

So omni addiction is a symptom of real life collaspe...

5649: You would never let a 3YO touch your calcs. (1 story)

I think you are judging people too fast here or are misunderstanding. The life issues in question had absolutely nothing to do with Omnimaga nor calculators. I will not go into details, but basically people were constantly infringing on my life freedoms via harrassment tactics, judging me and it reached insane extents in late 2009, at one point which I even felt stalked.

In late 02-03 I was much more into calculators than I am right now, yet my life was perfectly fine. The only reason why I wasn't active online back then was because I had no computer at home.

I'm sorry for judging DJ, I should have understood that that was a hard time and I shouldn't have made jokes about it. (Am being sincere here)

5651: You get home from school and first thing you do is go on omni (true story)
5652: People give you rubiks cubes for free in school (so far only one, but still )

6563: Your 3YO can program his or her calcs and is proficient in a variety of languages.

Shouldn't you keep the numbers increasing by one and not by a few hundred

5653 (5654 if you change your number) :
  You lost your driving licence (assumed you have one) because of coding while driving the car
5654: Your calculator chrashed because you took it under the shower

5659: You get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from coding your calc (partially true story)
