When you're a computer geek, you really should be proud and proclaim it to the world.
Almost everyone carries a calculator (check out your cell phone).
Having an RPN calculator shows low level geekdom.
Having a calculator watch shows moderate level geekdom.
Having a calculator you built yourself shows high level geekdom.
Having a RPN calculator watch that you built yourself will make all other geeks bow down before you (with the possible exception of those few who built a nixie tube watch).
I have trouble reading a regular watch.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should learn Polish.
"What time is it?"
"Fourteen."
"What?"
"Either my watch is broken or it is 2:14:14."
"It must be broken, it is dark out."
"Made in Korea."
I am suspicious of any watch that shows the date.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't even know what day this is, you probably don't really need to know the time, either.
