Well, the coolness factor of being a musician cancels out much of the geekieness of the theremin. So the factor 0.921 already takes that into account.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey. New board.
No, Theremin is totally geekier than computer.
The geekiest of all, though? The Theremin emulator for Palm OS. Discovered by me, accidentally, while hunting to see if I could find a SNES emulator (can't. Sega Genesis is a go, but no SNES. And the only NES emulator is non-free. Bah.)

That beats my Atari 400. I kinda wish I had kept my Atari ST, that was a oddball computer. I almost bought a used Lisa once, but I couldn't justify the money.

My first computer was a Commodore 64. Unless you count my Radio Shack PC-1 (The first "pocket computer" - actually, a Radio Shack-badged version of the Sharp PC-1211.) Or my TI-55 programmable scientific calculator.

My first computer was my Atari 400. It was pretty fun to program too. They had a nicely detailed memory map and you just poked and peeked to make things happen. They had sprites, missiles, and all sorts of little graphic goodies in the memory map.

I also still have, and use, my HP 48SX. It still freaks people out to try to use it since it uses reverse polish notation.

We still have some HP calculators with RPN here at work.

I have one at home. I still use it from time to time too.

Hey. New board.
Can't you set the new HPs to use RPN if you prefer? I thought you still could.
