Wow! [an error occurred while processing this directive]

What about those who already have a PDA (like me)?

Tried it for a week, but it didn't really work. Using a pen and paer for writing down school assignments is much more useful.

You use PAER?

Yeah, I use my SHARP (gasp) OZ-730PC as my PDA. My TI is for games and Math. I always carry both of them around with me at school.

no, i use my (gasp) palm pilot as my PDA, crazy isn't it? It's nice for that, but my TI-89 is for math and games, i don't like palm games, because you have to pay for the good ones...and TI games are free. Long live TND!!!

I have one of those things too! (except I have games on both...)

i have my casiopeia e100. I installed pocket dos on it, and was able to succesfuly get a ti86 emulator working. So if you want to consider that a pda (emu) then yes, but its like a pda in a pda. I use it for games, along with the 1000's of games i already have for it...

I have a PDA, bit it's just not as reliable as my TI. I have an HP PDA< but it's too big, and just erases my information whenever it feels like it. My TI is much more reliable, and tells me way ahead of time when to replace my batteries.

If anybody that uses their calc as a PDA that's me!!
If you want to have a PDA on your calc you can use my Tinux Organizer which is 5% ASM and 95% Basic.
You can get it through File Archieve for TI-83 Basic Misc. section.
(I can't afford a PDA!!!)

I tend to use my girlfriend for a Public Display of Affection. I am not that close to my TI (almost).







(Don't waste your time replying about the intended meaning of PDA)

Girlfriend? And you call yourself a nerd!

just because he has a ticalc account he isnt necessarily a nerd, but then again that isn't possible...

I just contradicted my self didn't I

oh well

How can anyone named ˆ²³ not be a nerd?

it doesnt matter. anyone who wastes their time getting programs for their calculators is a nerd, like me. if he wasnt a nerd, then he would have a gameboy instead.

This is on a tangent, but I will state here that I am a nerd

Being a "nerd" has changed since the eighties. I consider myself a nerd (my life revolves around hacking/programming) yet I'm still "with it I'm hype" (Dr. Evil quote). The point is people like me can get girls yet still not have a life.

aight, here's how it works. the "preps" or "jocks" say that people who, say, spend more time than would seem healthy at their computer or calculator are "gay". But, then, that in real terminology means "nerd", and then you dont care. the fact that i read a message board ABOUT calculators and REPLY to them also suggests this, but i dont care, because in 20 years i can go to McDonalds(yes, it will still be there *shudder*) and laugh in the face of the jock who made fun of me, after which he will secretly spit on my hamburger. As that one very, very scary dude from "schoolhouse rock", "it's hip to be square!".*shudder shudder*

And the moral of the story is...girls are no substitute for a good game of TND. And what does a girl ask for? everything! all your time and devotion. and what does a calculator ask for? only new batteries every few months. this goes back to my favorite t-shirt... "girls are no substitution for a playstation"

At least your nickname is better than mine!!
I also make programs for my calc, but I am just
pending on the edge for being a nerd. I go out and
have some great friends, so I can't complain!

OXYMORON!

I am one hundred percent (100%) nerd. A nerd can be defined as one who studies excessively and tends to be socially inept. I certainly study excessively (though not necessarily for the things they want me to), but I am not socially inept. However, I have noted a sharp decrease in my number of friends in the last year, and a sharp increase of social clashes of various types, so based on that, one could say that, well, maybe I am socially inept.

This is not the side of the definition of nerd that I am looking at though. No, what really defines me as a nerd is this: "someone who knows what's really important and interesting and doesn't care to be distracted by trivial chatter and silly status games." Oh your god - I have just fallen in love with the <a href="http://dictionary.com">American Heritage Dictionary</a>! To make things better, the next sentence states, "Compare the two senses of computer geek." *&#@*(&$( HAH! That is me! That is exactly me!

You'd think I would have read the guidelines up there where they said "HTML tags are not allowed." Oh well. :-)

That was really smart!!!

Haha... that was today's best.

you're stupid you don't even have a girlfriend, maybe you do---Rosie Palms

You are dumb. Confused by your own lies. If I were you, settle for the TI. It's your best.

what?

Not you hitman, the first guy.

Nope....Rosie Palmer is waaay too good for me. I have to settle with good ol' Ahanda ;-)

i personally am a fan of Stacey Rect, or for the ladies, they can have Eric Shun

Dang, a calc nerd with a girlfriend. I'm jealous.
Hey, how old are you? And what's your secret?
My only strategy is to woo girls with my programming skills. It almost worked once...

BL Alien

i'm a nerd with a girlfriend, too... pretty hot one =)

Dang, life is unfair.
There is only one girl like me in the entire school, and I've already went out with her for about a year, so I'm out of potential girlfriends.

BL Alien

There is only one girl like you? Does that mean you're a girl as well?

Me and my 2 cents.

Ok, perhaps I should rephrase that:
There is only one girl in my school that has similar interests and a similar attitude towards life as me.
We are different in some ways, in that she feels physically attracted to males and I feel physically attracted to females.
Ugh, either you take things too literally or you have a sick mind, Omicron.

BL Alien

Ok, sorry if that sounded sick. But it is what you said... Yeah yeah I understand what mean, just tryin to spice up a pointless debate about girlfriends, calculators, and the two meanings of PDA.

<pointless>I use my TI-83 as both a PDA and a PDA.</pointless>

heehee, me too!

Love you Malz!!!! :-)

You lucky bastard! :)

meetoo... i have a photo of my girlfriend in my ti89 that i can look at with picview whenever i want

now if that's not ultimate nerd-ness, then nothing is

why r u guys so worried about being nerds???

haha.. when i visited MIT I got a pocket protector that says "M.I.T. NERD POWER!"

Say that like nerddom/geekdom is a bad thing or something...

insert "You" in front of previous post

there is a big difference between a nerd and a geek!

the difference is that a nerd actually knows what he is doing and a geek only thinks he does.

Personally, i would rather be labeled as a nerd than a geek


alysher

I am also a nerd with a girlfriend. I agree with Joe, my girlfriend is very hot. Girls like the guys with direction in their life. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have plastic.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
