Quote from: random guy in *programming* class
Just let me know before it goes off okay
:P

Not many people really saw my CX b/c I got it like a week before I graduated and college people are just meh XD
One of the security guards at my old high school took like a while to figure out that the Prizm wasn't a phone tho. What kind of a phone has 50 buttons and a clip-on case? 0.o

Essence betas, the Tio menu and messing with zStart's picture thing got some fun reactions in their days tho.
Lol, last year I was programming on my Nspire in my lap during school, and somebody asked me who I was texting.
Also, a few years ago when phone’s were still illegal in our school and I carried around my four function calculator, people thought it was a blackberry or other phone and thought I should put it away so I don’t get caught

Hm, now I'm wondering what would happen if someone were to take a TI-108 and stick, say, an apple logo on the back.  Should be interesting.

Someone at school back in 2001 was absolutely shocked and amazed at the "incredible" graphics of Illusiat 2.

I can't imagine what would have been his reaction if he saw Reuben Quest... O.O

Sadly the game was not finished when I was still in school. I started it after ending school. :P When I finished hi school I was halfway into ROL2 development and when I was in hi school, I was working on ROL3, Zelda DLQ and ROL4ever (cancelled)

Here are their reactions in the order when they try using my 84+SE (the one they should never touch :P):

Hey, what's that rabbit showing when I turn it on ? (thanks zStart for the 8 lvl greyscale pic at startup)
Why does it display 8.41 pm even though it is 10.54 am ? (thanks zStart for launching my program at startup but a RAM Clear killed the time)
Crap, what's the password ? (next step of the program at startup :P)
Lol, why is your cursor like that ? (thanks zStart for allowing custom fonts and thanks Spyro for the amazing font)

Then they try launching some progs and they no longer want to give me back my calc :P
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

the biggest reaction i've ever gotten was from plugging a pair of headphones into my 84+, with second place taken by making a chat program and talking to someone across the room via a link cable spliced to christmas lights :P

By the way this topic title should probably be edited, because it's your, not you'r (nor you're, the more common grammar/spelling mistake). ;)

People always joke about the fact that I would be able to put PDF in my TI-Nspire CX. Where they get stunned is when I answer them that in fact, yes, it is possible.
I do not get mad at people, I just want them to learn the way I learnt.

Oh, this was so funny, and it was even before I downloaded anything special for my calculator.
I had the startup app display a picture with “I am awesome” on it in cursive and other fonts.
I forgot all about that and gave it to my Statistics teacher to put an app on, and he turned it on and said “Oh, well that’s true”

Yay! ;D

I put an Apple sticker (the kind you get with an iPod) on the slide case of my TI-Nspire and people ask me if I have an Apple calculator. Lolz. I can usually amaze the school jocks (the kind who don't know how to turn on a computer) pretty easily by writing programs to instantly solve their algebra homework.

Well, A lot of people saw me playing portal during social studies on my ti-84 and most refuse the truth, but some want to buy 84's just for portal
