Heh, so true... For me a conversation with an "average" student goes
something like this:
Them: Is that a Sega GameGear? Wow holy shit its a computer!
Me: Its a TI-92
Them: An 82?
Me: No a 92
Them: Ohh a 92, cool. How much did it cost?
Me: When I got it, $250, now its cheaper
Them: Did you pay for that yourself?
Me: Yep
Them: Yo fella's, come check this jonx out.
At which point I leave, or else end up with a circle of 20-25 people
drooling over the calculator (I'm gonna have to waterproof that thing if it
keeps up). =)
