Got my results yesterday, turns out I managed to get 11A*s and 1 A

So I'm insanely happy right now. We go back on the 5th September, but I'm going into 6th Form, so we've got new teachers, and can't screw around for a bit, at least until we suss them. Last year one of my friends had this USB foot switch which was like a posh Alt-Tab

He hid it under the desk, and used it whenever the teacher came over. It worked, because normally the teachers can see us hitting Alt-Tab, and know we're on something else. Complete overkill, but it worked

One guy in our year 10 last year, had a thing for 'modding' his pencil case and folder. His forst one was leds in the opening of the pencil case, that was fun and then he mounted a avr and a screen in it, i never saw that running though.

His folder too, had a screen and stuff in it. He had plans to put a pictoITX in it, but i never say that either.

Somone here should do that =)

I'm Taking Algebra II and Geometry this year so Apps for those courses would help. And I've looked at ticalc.org but theres like 10 different files named the same thing and I have no idea what to download and what not to. Thanks.

Get "A+ Algebra 2" and "A+ Geometry" (both apps). They do so much stuff for you it's mind boggling.

Trying to find those Programs is harder than deciding which Program to download

What Calc are they originally for and are they flash, basic, asm, etc?

They are Apps (not programs) and I'm not sure what language they are in. I can send you them later if you want. Get me on AIM later. I'm at school right now.

EDIT: I'm at home now; I upped them to my Googlepages site. Here's A+ Algebra2,, and here's A+ Geometry.

Whatâ€™s these calc that you have?
How do they connect to the computer?

Felino: Thanks for the idea.

They are Graphing Calculators and all the ones except the 83's hook up by using a Type-B USB to Type-A USB Cable. The 83's use I/O to USB Cables.

Now a days all TI Calculators except the 83 come with USB Cables so they can get stuff transferred from/to them easily.

Thanks ketchup! I hope these help me

I just got my schedule and im mad. I have all classes with my friends, but I dont have a math calss so I got a schedule change, and it will probably turn out like last year where I had classes with no friends and made 1 friend over the year

(besides Trevor the super-nerd, who was walking home listening to janitors swearing at eachother on the scanner. but he's 2 years older then me so I dont have any classes with him.)

Wow, this semester freaking rocks for me. The only class I don't like is Algebra II but it's because it's the only class I have to really think in.

I have:

Microcomputers/SoftApps/FCS (Boring but easy A+)
Algebra II (Math? Grr...I hate thinking)
Design Engineering (Fun!)
World Cultures (Sounds Boring but so far it's been pretty cool)

Right now I have all 100%'s in my classes because I've only had like 4 or 5 assignments in each class.

My TI-84 Plus Silver Edition owns. Playing all the Super Mario Lands (Gameboy) on my Calculator is fun

PS: I'm a Sophomore btw (10th Grade for non-High School noobs)

I'm going into the 6'th quarter of my associate's degree program. No classes next week!

My bag o' tricks:
- 1gb USB drive
- 2gb iPod Nano
- Dell PDA with 2 gig SD card, emulators, and a media player
- Pens, notebooks, bla bla bla
- The free Casio scientific calculator they gave away at orientation. (everyone got one.)
- 80 gb SATA drive in swappable drive bay (for Windows Server and Linux classes, we have to run the systems)

I think my classes are Advanced Windows Server 2003, Linux Administration, and Economics. Fun fun fun!
