when I was in gradeschool, you fell into one of 3 camps:

1. people who appreciated the sleek visual aesthetic and industrial design of Sharp calculators (with lines reminiscent of Volvos) — or —

2. people who had TI-35s (hideous things whose mushy, rubbery buttons stopped working reliably 8 minutes after unboxing) — or —

3. people who didn’t care about calculators (and had friends).

(I was in group 1. Clearly.)

(Is it too late for a language warning on this fucking account?)

¡¡¡THERE MAY BE SWEARS!!!

Ah, yes; the United States-only Internet. So many levels of “go fuck yourself” for this bullshit.

Well, damn. The blueberry patch I’ve been visiting every August for a decade has finally grown over. The last couple of years hadn’t been great, anyway.
