I am posting this to both lists in the event some are on one and not the other. I don't know if any of you have ever tried/used Soulver, but it is quite neat and on sale for $11.99 in the Mac App store. You can get a 10-day trial copy at the developer's site, http://www.acqualia.com/soulver/download/. I did try the app and found it to be very accessible and just a neat app. I also think the price is not bad at all for any of the 3 versions when you consider what you can do with the app. Note the sale seems to be only good for November 24 and 25.
Here is a description from the Mac app store. Soulver helps you do quick calculations and work things out. Use Soulver to play around with numbers, do "back of the envelope" calculations, and solve day-to-day problems. Annotate your numbers with words, so that they make sense to you. Soulver picks out the numbers and calculates your answer as you type. Do calculations over multiple lines, and refer to previous lines, much like a spreadsheet. Soulver is great for adding things up, doing all kinds of percentages easily, and converting things, like currencies. It's quicker to use than a spreadsheet, and smarter and clearer than a traditional calculator.
