In article <ingemar.671980699@stuart>, ingemar@isy.liu.se
(Ingemar Ragnemalm) writes a couple of paragraphs on calculators.
Here's a quick translation:

"Writing a calculator program for a computer is like emulating a bicycle
with an automobile by removing the motor and adding pedals.

"If you want to use a calcuator (although it doesn't look like one), try
NumberCrunch, free, slick, superior. Now I grab for a mouse and not
the mini-calculator whenever I have to compute something.

"Of course, if you have the money, you can always use Mathematica, MatLab,
etc. but they are on a different level." [I'd add spreadsheets to the list.]
