Macs are made for retards so they could start using computers.
Which would be why most uneducated consumers buy PCs because they don't even know what Macs are.

So Mac attempts to make itself look better by pulling some NDP style mudslinging.

I play around with them.

I'll still eventually read the instruction manual for the sake of watching the pretty pictures. baby;

Instruction manuals are for losers.

My Trig teacher just taught everyone in the class how to use graphing calculators from the start.


For instance, where is i located on most TI graphing calculators? Does it even have i anywhere?  befuddlement

Second function: decimal point, which is next to 0.

I swiped a 300 dollar calculator before, myself.

I can't figure it out, and the manual doesn't even make sense.

Jesus, how have I never noticed that? It's been a year since I've needed that button, I've just been putting in square root(-819) or whatever to get it to output a number in terms of i until now.

Lol, everyone in my school is pretty calculator-dependent so you learn your way around one pretty quickly.

I remember last year when I discovered the matrix functions, it saved my ass on multiple tests... multiplying out huge matrices and shit.
