They abbreviated "newbie" wrong, it should have been "newb".

"n00b" doesn't just mean "newbie". It also stands for "New One On Block"...

(: duh :)

thats stupid, i hate slang abbreviations.

AYBABTU... LOL... n00b... LMAO... ROTFLMAO... ROFL... HTML...

(: I don't really consider the last one slang, but I couldn't think of anything else :)

The last one made me laugh... just thought you should know ;-)

I was never offered

Ah, the lone comment that never would have gotten replied to if I hadn't stepped in...

(: You're welcome. :)

yeah, me neither...I just charge.... :)
BTW...I stepped in to to make it look like calc wasn't just having mercy on you...but now I kinda defeated the purpose by admitting that because now TWO people are having mercy on you, and now you're in one big pit of mercy-needing...

Look... Still only the two replies...

Yah, well I think that your comment was very insightful and thought-out.

My physics teacher lets us rent out our calculators.

I would LOVE to do that!! I'd be too afraid of them getting stolen, but I could EASILY go without 3 of my calcs...I have 2 83+'s, 2 89's (one with a damaged LCD), an HP49g, and a brand new HP49g+ that I got about a week or two ago...would anyone like to submit another calculator to the museum's exibit? (actually, I know a company that develops calc apps and asm programs, and it was absolutely AMAZING to see all the calcs they had...like 100 calcs, all arranged on a single table...82's, 83's, 83+'s, 86's, a few 89's, a 92+, a V200, and now I'm sure they've got some 84+/SE's and 89T's....What a collection...

I've programmed many a game or so and a few math programs in my day, but no one has even asked for them! It's not that they suck or anything...im working on a minesweeper game and all i have to do is program the zero's to clear out when u click one ;p

That's where marketing comes in. Put them on ticalc.org or verbally advertise them around your school/workplace.

or just work on your progs constantly until people start to wonder what you're doing.

That doesn't generally work. It gets you all the negative connotations associated with 'computer geek' with none of the positive effects.

That's what I do... My nickname is the calculator freak... <<<SN>>>

I do do that! (that was wierd) neway I work on them all the time. Once my ram cleared and my latest program was deleted (it was tictactoe) so in german class I was reprogramming it from memory...and everyone was like, "whoa! crazy lunatic" or whatever...

i sometimes do that but people hate me...a lot of people hate minesweeper anyway. about everyone ive told about minessweeper in particular were all like,"I never understood that game..." and i am yet again forced to explain the logical reasoning behind choosing a spot at random and that the spot tells you how many mines are around it... (that was supposed to be funny but it ended up being really stupid at the end) :{
