People react to your calculator...
« on: December 20, 2012, 06:07:59 pm »
So, a few times in class/on the bus, people look over and say
"Wut you doing on dat clakalatr?"
* Roboman says "Just playin some portal"
He says "WUT?!?!? IT CANS DO DAT?"
 ::)
and one time somebody refused to believe I created a simple BASIC game.  He insisted I downloaded it from the internet.
Share you'r stories of people reacting to the 'odd' things happening on you'r calculator screen.  Things said people deem...
IMPOSSIBLE

People look at my playing WIP Sunrise 3. That's... pretty much all for right now.

My math teacher (who is quite technologically-oriented and uses graphing calcs (although not as much as I or any of us do)) was amazed when I showed him how to blow out a TI-83/84/+/SE screen using ASM and what it looks like.

Blow out?  I don't know what that means.

I find it awesome when somebody brags about a BASIC density calculator or similar program, and then I say “Oh yeah, I remember programming on the 83, though I programmed tron on mine”
I plugged a keyboard into my calculator with linucx and typed dmesg, and my friend thought I was awesome

There is not a single person who hasn't asked me if my CX has wifi.

Also, my social studies teacher told me to make a time machine on my calculator earlier today :P

By blow out he probably meant what happens if you make your calculator BSOD for too long.

Quote from: random guy in *programming* class
Just let me know before it goes off okay
:P

Not many people really saw my CX b/c I got it like a week before I graduated and college people are just meh XD
One of the security guards at my old high school took like a while to figure out that the Prizm wasn't a phone tho. What kind of a phone has 50 buttons and a clip-on case? 0.o

Essence betas, the Tio menu and messing with zStart's picture thing got some fun reactions in their days tho.
