To convert to inches multiply *mm by 0.03937.</div> <div><br></div> <div>For those of you who use Macs, a competent on-screen shareware calculator<font color="#0000FF"> (available in both English and French versions)</font> is download-able from James Thomson's</div> <div>"Pcalc" website. Visit the Pcalc homepage at;</div> <div><br></div> <div>http://www.pcalc.com/</div> <div><br></div> <div>This capable calculator can be used in standard or Reverse Polish (RPN) formats. Furthermore, the RPN option has 16 data levels! To use in RPN format, just click on the RPN button once the calculator launches.</div> <div><br></div> <div>When using this calculator with my Powerbook I plug a USB extended keyboard, since the number pad allows me to operate Pcalc is if it is a real calculator. Nothing annoys me more, or slows down the entry of data, than struggling with the number buttons across the top of the laptop keyboard.</div> <div><br></div> <div>In addition to functioning as a standalone calculator, Pcalc has a well equipped functions drop-down menu, where you will find most of the conversions you require at the click of a mouse. And you can open and use multiple copies of Pcalc together. I like it.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Ron O.</div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div><font face="Times New Roman" size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>OVERS PIANOS - SYDNEY</b></font></div> <div><font color="#000000"><i>   </i></font><font color="#0000FF"><i>Grand Piano Manufacturers</i></font><font color="#000000"><br> _______________________</font></div> <div><font size="-2" color="#000000"><br> </font><font color="#000000">Web http://overspianos.com.au</font></div> <div><font color="#000000">mailto:ron@overspianos.com.au<br> _______________________</font></div> </body> </html>
