Question

How come in an office full of PC's, all with a calculator as standard, people keep hunting around for real calculators?

When they ask for one, I always say there's one on their computer, but they never use it. Is it a tactile thing or something

Fair enough if you work in accounts and do loads of adding - I used to have one of those big things with a paper reel when I worked in accounts. But for quickly working out something - surely calc.exe is good enough....

Anyone else find the same thing in their office?

The British Standard number for condoms is 3704. Put that into the calculator and turn it upside down...

Cool

try 71077345, that's an old fav from my younger days.

Y not get them to put a shortcut on their desktop to it, i have, dead easy then, the problem we have in our office on nights, is day staff always lock the staplers away in their draws (no comments pls)so it then becomes a game of hunt the stapler or lets see whose "draws we can get in" ha ha ha
