mmoa_writes at 04:18pm on 04/03/2006My brother just cracks me up. He comes in from some sort of revision class, and the first thing he says?
"MMOA! Come and put this washing in the machine!" Then he sighs and kisses his tongue when I don't respond immediately.
And goes back to playing with his playstation.
I have just discovered the wonders of graphic calculators. Aren't they just the greatest? You can work out the solutions to quadratic, cubic and (I think) quartic equations graphically, as well as the area of a triangle when you put in the three line equations on the graph... not to mention all the bar and line charts that would have helped me so much with my Statistics... and all for £35! (well, £34.99). But then, there was a Casio one which for some reason was only going for £12.99...
So yes, I have spent my afternoon examining graphic calculators in WHSmith and organising my next shopping trip (there is a ridiculously large sale about to take place). Geek or what? *bows*
