That's a medieval addition to the system. But if we were to take a

Actually a calculator would have been more use to the Ancient Greeks.

They had several, but then I'm sure you know that :-). This is the
prettiest/smartest?

Actually I hadn't heard about that, but my wife had!

The good old abacus is there, of course.

Did you see Bargain Hunt yesterday? They had an old hand £sd calculating
machine which sold for only £15. That was a shame because I've got one
exactly like it, inherited from an uncle many years ago, and was hoping
that I might have a valuable treasure.

Ok, so I'm being pedantic! ;-)

It's good to know that some things never change.

Touché!

This is just the executable from Win 8.1 (not sure about 8.1 but it's calc.exe
in Win 7). I can NOT believe they took it out in Win 10. So all we're left
with is that utterly useless Full Screen App ??

Thanks.
Best Regards,


I'm running build 9926 and the Win10 calculator is in a resizable window.
Apart from the horrible interface it looks like there are a couple
of features missing (that were in the Win7 calculator), like the Date
calculation and the Statistics option.

There was a thread somewhere that talked about that, but I don't recall
the details.

From what I manage to recall it started at one of the social sites, like
Twitter or FaceBook.

And while I was typing, another synonym came to mind: ditto.

I think I remember that too. But I was about not just where it
started, but why that.

Plus one = add one, or one more, i.e., someone who agrees, me too (not
me 2). Or how about add one to the score...

Yes, I've supposed the same. But I'm not sure my supposition is
correct.
