"Hal, would you find the square root of X for me?"
"I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that for you. Good bye, Dave..."

Calculators? Have any of you seen the TI Voyager 200?
It's the same form factor of the TI-92 Plus, but it actually has a desktop and can install applications and things. It's a nifty little gadget. :3
Edit: "I know you were trying to disconnect me, [Kerrigan]..."

Ag... no one reads/watches the classics anymore. rolleyes HAL is from 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke, and has even more pop-culture reference from the movie 2001, released in 1969. You'll usually see it as a red computer "eye" in the middle of a black field. (Warning: the movie is done at a slower pace than people are used to these days, and without all the flashy special effects)
Our guild 'bot is named AFTER HAL. smile (HAL is actually the H.A.L. (Heuristically* programmed ALgorithmic Computer) 9000, by the way)
ninja * adjective
enabling a person to discover or learn something for themselves : a “hands-on” or interactive heuristic approach to learning.
• Computing proceeding to a solution by trial and error or by rules that are only loosely defined.

But yes. Hullo to Arc and Lin and anyone else who has come in while I'm typing =P
