People usually just ask me if I am playing games or if I have games.

When I connected earphones to a calc and played some games with sound, some people came standing around me and they first thought I just pretended it could do sound. Then I let them listen to it themselves and then they walked away with blown minds.

Also when I was playing portal on my calc after an exam, some guys from my class asked me: "WTF is that portal?!"

I came to school with an xbox mic plugged into my claculator. Everyone though I had serie or something XD
Then I told them I was making music for a game and they were still mind blown...

People always joke about the fact that I would be able to put PDF in my TI-Nspire CX. Where they get stunned is when I answer them that in fact, yes, it is possible.
How _do_ you read PDFs on Nspire?

or use linucx and evince :P (or something more lightweight, because evince carries a slew of dependencies with it).

Sometimes when people notice me typing into my calculator, they come over and look at the screen...  which gets more people to notice me... which gets a small mob around me... which gets the attention of the teacher.  Then the teacher tells me he does not want to see my calculator out again :mad:

Take this particular calc away and take another one out of your bag. Each time I do that, they give up :P
(They mostly give up because I only use my calcs outside of the class time except when I need to make a calculus) so they don't have a particular reason to ban my calcs since I use them reasonably)

My math teacher once tried to ban me from using my 84+ during class, even though it was the required calculator for the class, and I was only calculating stuff x.x
But yeah, at my old school, people's minds were blown with a Snake game I slapped together in about 15 min for a friend :P

People always ask me if I can get WIFI on my Nspire CX CAS.

When they see the color screen they are usually like "What is that?  Is that a calculator?" Then I say yea and give it to them then they are all like "And it has a mouse!?".

Then when I play Pokemon on it they usually react with a "You can play Pokemon on your calculator!?" .  It's pretty fun amazing people.  Thanks everyone for the awesome programs. :)
