This is the calculator I have always wanted - simple and showing all the operations I have done! I even installed some stand alone applications since the Windows calculator sucks.

Why do you need to figure out what the new wall height is when you add 3'-11-3/4" to it rather than just typing the "+" sign in and putting in the value?

And totally agree regarding your calc comment Rob.

This calculator is an extension of the above mentioned features! I treads values directly from the drawing! I also admire Unit conversion and Variables!

It is called ArchiCalc.
An Add-on again! I sometimes wonder if this is another way to squeeze more money from the users!It is simple enough so other firms can make it, but GS does not include it in the package, because users will get it for free!

I use the Logitech DiNovo
Thank you, Jere and ArchiUser for this suggestion! I wanted to buy a diNovo some time ago but it is shamelessly expensive in Bulgaria! I bought a Cherry eVolution set at half the price!

FYI The Windows Calculator can be changed to Scientific mode ...

So, no chances for improvement! Perhaps the wishes section of the Forum should be removed?

Just saw that this discussion is from 2004!

we apple users are pretty well off with our dashboard calulators - maybe you should talk to bill about fixing up that old piece of code instead of bothering GS? besides, doesn't vista have some kind of widget thing going on these days as well?

We could all start voting "not-needed"...
The forums can be very helpful but this wish is useless and will not help AC any further. As I will speak for myself, GS - sorry for bothering

There are other, essential topics / issues to take care of.
