Texas Instruments TI-92+, Tip List

Page: 49 / 507

The story would have most likely ened there, but a very angry person, took forth to "defend free
speech" as he put it and called for war.
A certain troll, Glass Lion, saw Jason as a feeble mind to manipulate and assumed the forms of
another forgotten name and a certain hero and challenged the defender.
A great war of verbal obsenities waged on day and night. Great floods flooded the land. No one was
safe from Jason.
Soon after, the fake hero challenged Jason, the real hero was attacked by Jason. He quickly made it
known it was not him and did not wish to fight him.
Soon after, the psychopath Adams appologised claiming only to seek protection of free speech.
The other trolls new however it would not be that dificult to get him to snap again and as this was an
age of Flood and Spaming, Jason was an ideal target for there taunts.
Spam became even more prevalent under Jason. This very much angered those high above on Mount
Texas. Day in, day out, cleansing of the comunity was nessessary.
Finally, he actually did leave, although trolls and others still borrowed his name for the the notoritity.
Glass Lion proceeded to continue his search for the long gone Slayer. While much rejoicing was there,
the flooding continued off and on for many months to come.
[1.19] Kraftwerk's "Pocket Calculator" song
I have to include a bit about this song, because it may be the only one ever written about calculators. It
certainly isn't specifically about the TI-89/92+, or even about graphing calculators in general. It's just a
little calculator oddity.
Kraftwerk is a band of four Germans who released their first album in 1971. They were one of the first
bands to compose songs almost entirely of synthesizer instrumentation. Pocket Calculator is from the
Computerworld album, released in 1981 on the Elektra Entertainment label, then again in 1988. Their
music is usually classifed as dance/electronica.
Some sites claim that this song was a popular hit - maybe in Europe or Germany? There is a lot of
Pocket Calculator paraphernalia for sale on ebay: posters, t-shirts and various LP (vinyl) releases, and
pressings in different colors.

The song lyrics, which are undoubtedly copyrighted by Kraftwerk:
I'm the operator with my pocket calculator
