Where did you get your calcs from?
« on: August 06, 2010, 09:16:36 am »
I was wondering -- Where did everyone get their calcs from?  Was it from a major chain store (Walmart, Target, Staples), online (School Mart, TI's Website), eBay, a gift, did you win it?

Here are mine:

TI-89 Titanium - Walmart
TI-Nspire - eBay
TI-Nspire CX CAS - Underwood Distributing

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

Eh.
You deal with it.

It's the super-awesome projects that you lose that makes the theft hurt.

Although, these days, most calc programmers keep their calcs with them, never letting people touching it or letting it out of their site :)

My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.
