Yeah, but you have to remember that actual portable "gaming systems" aren't
generally allowed in schools.  Also, once you get one of those you have to
pay for all the games.  On calculators, they're all free!  Personally, I got
my calc for the games, programming capabilities and finally math
functions(not in that order, of course!)
