I also agree that .ppt would be quite big, but an equivalent to power points in calculator would be cool for tests.Again, alternatives to NoteFlio for tests IN KnightOS

Math class:"Hello, today I'm going to be giving a presentation on prime numbers. Ohwait, excuse me for one moment while I hook my calculator up..."Class gets confused and starts chattering. Math teacher + exasperated friends facepalm in unison, then starts silently laughing/crying/shaking their head in disbelief."There we go!" (Clicks around for a while)"Okay." [click right arrow on calc] "Now, the interesting thing about prime numbers is..."
In my country, teachers tell us: "PUT ALL IN YOUR CALCULATOR". Really, they almost force us to put things there to make it easier.Oh and they never reset calculators, since it's illegal.

The teacher would never be safe with that, it could be turned off, calc reseted, lots of stuff could be done, but one could be made for honest students
Really? Lucky. My teacher avoids graphing calculators - she almost always bans them on tests (we can use scientific, boring calculators, though), and the one time we were allowed to use them, she cleared the RAM as we submitted our tests... (funny story: I heard she was clearing the calcs, so I obsessively spent lunch trying to back things up, but she she only did a wimpy RAM clear, which happens to me about, say over 9000 times a day... And when I first started Axe, RAM clears were terrifying!)

I actually contemplated using MirageOS to lock access to the mem screen, but then she could have just pulled a battery while running a short program, if she was savvy enough...She was trying to prevent us from copying test questions/answers. Pretty futile, considering that with Axe I can make frickin' APPLICATIONS if I feel like it. Only complete annihilation would kill that.
Uh..my physics teacher clears everything. (Or at least he thinks he does on mine )

Hmm, should KOS include some sort of test mode (for actual tests, as in exams, not death mode) so that teachers'll be more willing to accept it?
