Squeak-
“I was anticipating the “actually it’s a kohein thing” line (yes, I expect you to believe that), but I still had to hang onto my kishkes when I got to it.”
I was also anticipating it- I was just waiting for the perfect moment.
“I am loving how knocking the iron into YOU gave BOTH of you burns! I guess I should never face you with my back turned :)”
The solder we were using had a melting point of 750 degrees, how long does it need to be in contact with skin to cause a nasty burn? He accidentally knocked the tip into the back of my right hand with the back of his left hand.
“I hate your proof (if you ever meant it seriously)”
I never meant to take it seriously, I meant to give a deserving answer to the question. She did ask for it, didn’t she?
“As for the TI 89, I pegged you as a bit older. I never really had a use for one, though I did get a TI 92 once as a desk copy (mighty unusual for me). Who would have thought of using it to play music back when CD players were larger than the calculator?”
Many professors didn’t allow students to use calculators that had the QWERTY layout- the TI-92 was guilty of this. The TI-92 Plus compared to the TI-89 in functionality.
It definitely takes some creative people to use a TI-89 as an MP3 player. With 1MB of user available memory we only had enough space for a 10 second sound clip that was on a loop!
