Lamely OT: My new "Gear" Purchase

[Neiloler]

...a TI89 Titanium. Woo. Freakin'. Hoo. $160 after tax. That's some crazy stuff. It does some amazing things though, and I can use it on tests in my circuits class, so I'm okay with the purchase, just slightly amazed at how much a calculator is. :S

we used 83+ all the way through high school and now that i'm taking engineering we can only use 30+ aka boring scientific calculators

Lame indeed. I don't know which is worse, having to buy a calculator for a chunk o change or only being able to use lame underpowered ones. I can't use any in my math classes, something about learning the actual theory behind things. Psh.

i think i just said somewhere else in another part of this big pub just 5 mins ago. a-friggin'-men. mostly 'cause it's true.

160$?! for a calculator? only if it speaks to you...AND if it can make tea, earl grey, hot. i guess if you need it good...but. ouch. i don't miss school.

The sequel should go:
-Are you still not coming to bed?
-No, not yet. Not only was this guy wrong, but people are agreeing with him.

Thanks David, Nick, it's a cool picture, made me laugh when I thought how it applied to forum stuff.

Nick, get better soon, it sucks to be sick.

I still need to find a good use for mine. Sell it to off set the cost? Door stop?
