Once again, they're just copying Palm...

Way back when the first Pilot 1000 hit the market (yes I still have mine) its calculator program made errors on simple floating point operations. M$ have obviously innovated their own idea of a calculator fault in a handheld device :) Hmm... Caluclator ... could've been a Dr. Who monster :-) On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

It is a device which renders calumny, such as is expressed by an IWETHEY calumniator. :-\ufffd (I do hope that poor MM wasn't the one who burned a million of those ROMs...)

After all, isn't the Calculator in Windows supposed to have a persistent calculation bug going back to Windows 1.0? :-) And doesn't Excel have calculation bugs going back a few versions, too?

I don't know if that still happens because I can't remember what the number was. I think it was a ~10 digit number between 1 and 2. Brian Bronson
