That thing (Mod 100) saved my ash more times than I'd like to mention in
school! Unfortunately, I lost 4 keys on the keyboard, so I can't use it
for much anymore (Keys were I K L and ?). I LOVED the look on the math
teacher's face when I walked in with it!

MT: What's that?
Me: A calculator.
MT: You're full of *, it's an organizer. ANd against the rules.
Me: Actually it's a computer.
