GK, not everyone has Mathematica (I used it years ago, different life) but the old Windows 7 calculator has some good features (apart from its familiarity) and someone has “ported” it to Windows 10 (here <http://winaero.com/download.php?view.1795> – download; referenced here <http://www.intowindows.com/calculator-windows-10/> in discussion / alternatives to the windows 10 calculator) – I haven’t tried that though.

I just stumbled upon this new look by pure accident when I put the net use HRESULT code into it half an hour ago. I suppose the new calc feels nice on a tablet, but I wouldn't know as my screen just gets grease stains when I touch it. I'd never heard of Microsoft Mathematics before and I see there's an "old calc" for download, but I actually have Mathematica installed, so if I want to calculate a definite integral or get the square root of 2 to a million decimal places it's a better choice! -- GK On 29 February 2016 at 12:36, Ian Thomas <il.tho...@outlook.com <mailto:il.tho...@outlook.com> > wrote: Greg, you’re not the first by a long shot to hate the Windows 10 calculator. Though it has right-click to copy or paste, it’s annoyed me for 6 months so like others I have replaced it for my use.
