But the current calculator works, and I don’t have to be connected to the internet, or let google know what I’m calculating.. (I’d hate for them to know that I want to add two numbers together..)

I mean, it’s a calculator, and I normally just use the number pad for entry (where possible).. It’s light weight, and has is easy to use. Take a look at the “Programmer mode”, and click on the binary mode (second button in the middle).. Then you can just click bits on and off.. Or conversions the conversion it supports.. I guess all I’m saying is that it works, and has some handy features for a free calculator that’s included out of the box. Ed.

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 <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Greg, you’re not the first by a long shot to hate the Windows 10 calculator.
