  That... is not a good idea. Inexpensive calculators were relatively new when I was that age, and I learned so much just playing with them.

      Among other things, I learned that I was really, really into computing machinery.

      (I also learned that a lot of people on Hacker News have absolutely no business on a site called 'Hacker News.')

        I did repeatedly hack my university though. But you are of course free to leave :)
