What about converted or not decided? We gotta accommadate everybody. It's not politically correct. I think it would be an interesting survey to see if people program or just play.

Anybody lie on this poll?

sure. I selected one.

I know there are at least 6 girls on this site...

Is it me, or did ticalc.org do a survey on this already? I remember very well a survey with 3 options: male, female, and I don't know. Tell me if I'm wrong.

I think that was a recently hosted site or something. I remember that also, but it wasn't ticalc.org that did it. Maybe opa.ticalc.org?

I don't know, but I'd hate to meet someone who doesn't know what they are.

I once met a squirrel who thought he was Queen Victoria.

LOL!
That stupid and off-topic comment just made my day! Thanks =D

What about those people born with both aspects of a male and female (saw a *lovely* something on 20/20 about it)? What if they just stay the way they are? Though that is nasty, what area of a survey with "male", "female", "I don't know" do they fit into?!?!

did you say SOUTHPARK?

Actually, I happen to know a -very nice- transexual person. Not at all someone you'd hate to know.

Wow, I had expected this, but -- 253 to 2???? That's a huge gap. Well it explains why whenever my classmates ask me something about their calculator, guys ask me to load games onto theirs and girls ask how graph or something. In fact, I know a few girls who have calcs pretty decent for games (86, etc) yet politely REFUSE when I ask if they want me to put games on them! Do they ENJOY school or something? Half the time I see a guy using a TI-xx, he's rapidly pressing only the Left, Right, & 2nd keys... wonder what he's doing huh.
Well I am one of them too, gotta kill those 6 hours somehow.

All the girls I know with games on their calcs love Pac-Man. Maybe "someone" should fix the First Level Impossible bug!

Contrary to what some people seem to think, many girls use calculators and computers and very much enjoy them. However, I know quite a variety of guys and girls who don't allow games on their calculators, for various reasons, often prefering to do various levels of math. Personally, I consider this question rather inappropriate simply because it opens up such a large amount of insults upon both genders. just becuse we don't have a lot of girls voting, does not mean that they don't appreciatetechnology; it means this particular website does not appeal to them or they do not care to vote (I for one didn't) One a side note tpo the people who asked about transexuals, your gender is the sex you feel yourself to be, ot which you actually are, so if they feel closer to one or the other that would be the proper gender to put.

Sadly, it seems like few people will see a post that is added 4 months after the survey was posted.

What about a post that is added over 1.5 years after the post it replies to? :)

Hmm ... 2 years, 9 months!

Five years!

Reading the "conversation" was really quite intresting.

Indeed. :)

I guess it's just the nature of this survey that keeps it "alive" ;)

See the "How many calculators do you own?" survey.
